To the girl who stares in the mirror with negativity
...(you are beautiful)...
To the girl who cuts her wrists
...(you are special)...
To the girl who starves herself; to the one who binges
...(you are the perfect size)...
To the girl who is alone
...(you have a friend)...
To the girl who has had her heart broken
...(you are loved)...
To the girl who feels lost
...(you have been found)...
To the girl who has been put down
...(you have been lifted up)...
And to every single girl who exists on this blessed world, you have a reason, a purpose, and a destiny. Take it on, embrace it, and make a difference. You are BEAUTIFUL! Let it SHINE! <3 <3 <3 <3

V1
Gazing in the mirror
She questions herself again
"Will I ever be small enough...
The right size to fit in?"
V2
Tears flow onto her pillow
She cries out in the dark
Running away from herself
Fading into her broken heart.
Beautiful girl
With a beauty much deeper than skin
Beautiful girl
Don't be afraid to let go
To let loose of what you hide within
Beautiful girl
V3
Wanting so to feel whole
Can't relieve her discust
Another day lost, so lost
So she runs, just runs, she just runs
Beautiful girl
With a beauty much deeper than skin
Beautiful girl
Don't be afraid to let go
To let loose of what you hide within
Beautiful girl
Br
God does not see thick or thin
Just your heart
Just your soul
Beautiful girl
Beautiful girl
Jesus looks deeper than your skin
Beautiful girl
Don't be afraid to let go
To give Jesus what you hide within
Beautiful girl

ReplyDeleteHi, Raina,
ReplyDeleteMiranda, my 14 year old, is reading a series of books about addiction...they are all written in verse, but painfully graphic in describing the consequences of "the monster." I think your words here are timely...
