to the girl with the rainbow hair.

by Emma_Harlow

what have they done to you, dear girl with the rainbow hair? have they saddled you with their insatiable thirst for perfection, my sweet girl with the rainbow hair? have they demonized the ground you dare stand, fearless girl with the rainbow hair? have the non-believers tore you piece from piece, my messed up girl with the rainbow hair? the world will always tear you down, tender girl with the rainbow hair. you were never supposed to use your voice, my deafening girl with the rainbow hair. do not let them defeat you, sweet heartbroken girl with the rainbow hair. whilst machismo is still alive, the girls will never be safe.
