This is for you

this is for the poets who speak more truth than pastors 

and the kids who go home for lunch because no one sees them

for the girls basing their self worth on instagram comments

and the boys that don't feel

this is for the mothers who sit up worrying all night

and the fathers who sleep soundly right beside them

the sons who will never live up to their parents expectations

and the daughters who don't even love themselves

this is for the lovers who wait until 2 am 

and the dreamers that sleep all day and paint pictures every night that no one will ever see

the stoners that hit rock bottom months ago but were too high to feel it

and the loners that don't know what it's like to have warm hands

this is for you

this is for every time you've felt useless

hopeless

worthless

this is to tell you've i've been there

i've sat on that same spot on the bathroom floor and thank goodness it was tile or else my tears would have stained it

i've looked in mirrors covered in hate

and stared at the ceiling trying to remember how to smile

i've been there

so this is to remind you that every bad day is just as long as the rest of them

that scar tissue is stronger than what was there before

and you'll be okay

you'll be okay
