  i’ve been stumped today
  today has been really sucky
  what else about today
  well i mean
  nothing good
  i dont really know if what ive been writing
  is poetry
  or the heart of a teenage girl
  but i guess
  no one really had the guts to speak out
  teenage girls are mean
  and they lie
  sometimes about the stupidest things
  they say hurtful things to crap on other people
  because that makes them look
  “cool”
  i would know
  im a teenage girl
  just another 16 year old female
  with too much estrogen that she has no idea
  what to do with it
  i hope you feel this too
  i hope my words
  could make you feel something
  you havent felt in a long time
  something better then the sad
  dreading thoughts in your head
  someone recently told me
  what the phrase “pouring salt into an open wound” meant
  i thought its pretty accurate
  for us
  all the girls that go to high school
  or the girls who skip high school
  or the girls who have been sucked into the streets
  or the houses they do bad things to girls in
  this is for ALL of us
  because we need to get up
  we need to stop watching ourselves suffer,
  other girls too
  speak out
  like im doing
  its so so so hard
  but i will help you
  take my hand
  and don’t forget
  how beautiful you are
  and dont let society tell you different
  help each other
  stop hurting each other
  please and thank you
  now say
  “i love you”
  but not to me, to yourself
