This is for the cutters, the ones with eating disorders, the ones who are bullied, the emo kids, the different ones and the misunderstood ones.
I know you all are hurting
you have demons you all are fighting everyday
some of you cut just to ease the pain
while some of you wish to just go away
You get talked about and judged
for being what everyone longs to be
and that is to be yourself 100%
not giving a **** who disagrees
Some of you are throwing up on purpose
to feel pretty by those who don’t see your true beauty
some of you do drugs to block out excess noise from the ones who call you nobodies
Some of you plan out your suicides
because life for you is unbearable
some of you hide who you love
out of fear that love for the same *** will be unacceptable
Some of you cry yourselves to sleep at night
while some of you stay up to write songs
you write about wanting to make a difference in the world
when in reality you already are
All some of you have is music
and the crazy thoughts inside your head
while some of you have no one to lean on other than the pillow on your bed
I know every cut, every plan, every purge, and needle in the arm
is an escape from your own reality
some of you get beaten for no reason at all
when all you want is to be loved by somebody
You all have one thing in common
you are warriors agaisnt the norm
you were put here to make a difference
to change the world is why you were born
This is for the ones who get frowned upon
for being nothing but themselves
This is to those who struggle with a mental illness
and is pressured to be like everyone else
This is to those who express themselves in ways no one understands
This is to the ones who go after their dreams
with encouragement from their favorite bands
This is to those with scars on their arms
and to the ones whose rib cages show
you all are loved by somebody
and it could be by someone you don’t even know
I know you think your not heard
but I got news for you
I know what it’s like to be in your shoes
and be unsure of what to do
I want you to know that I love you
I think you are awesome as it gets
you are the ones that I look up to
when I’m lonely and depressed
I care about what you have to say
even if what you say is bizarre
I accept you for the hearts you have
because your hearts show who you really are
I care about your well being
I want you all to shine
I just want to hug each and every one of you
and hold you tight as you cry
I don’t want you to be afraid of anything
I want you to go after your dreams
don’t listen to the ******** people say
because what they say say means nothing anyways
I know I’m only one person
but please believe me when I say
you guys are all I think about when I’m writing my poetry everyday
I want to be your voice
for those who are afraid to speak
I want to be your encouragement
until your strong enough to be on your feet
The world is a scary place
for those who are considered misfits
but in the scary place we call a world
is where magic happens if you search for it
You are never alone on this journey
I am here for you till the very end
I’ll be here until God calls me home
and I promise to always be here to hold your hand
