hollowed out hearts
Here’s to the boy
who waited for a girl
on his front door step
until she came home
after leaving without sound
Here’s to the girl
who has to hide her urges
behind a glass door
the strength to put down the razor
after shaving her legs
Here’s to the girl
who receives deluded comments
on the length of her skirt
from her own mother
Here’s to the boy
who didn’t have a father growing up
but is teased
because he’s more comfortable being friends with girls
Here’s to the girl
who finds solace
in people who are temporary
Here’s to the boy
that doesn’t feel safe
in his own home
Here’s to all the kids
who have been told it is wrong to feel
the way they feel
like our emotions are fishhooks
that need to be
reeled in
Here’s to you
Here’s to me
Here’s to anyone who has ever had
their heart crushed beneath the heel
of someone they loved
You are loved
You are important
You’ve made it this far
and you can make it even farther
have strength
and
Here’s to you
