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
