To the person who has been shunned for being who they are,
The kid who has felt abandoned and that the world was nothing but against them, 
The teenage girl who has stuck her finger in the back of her throat,
To the kid who’s struggling in school and the genius taking 4 advanced classes,
The friend who has felt invisible and microscopic in their best friend's shadow,
The girl who didn’t get a text back after the best night of her life,
To kid who sits in the back of the classroom,
Take a breath.

To the mother who just celebrated her 17th birthday with only her baby,
The kids who sit alone at lunch and wonder what’s wrong with them,
To the plastic girls,
To the people who feel like they’re unheard, don’t have a voice and are replaceable,
The adults who clean up messes when they are the biggest mess of all,
To the teenager who doesn’t speak up to peer pressure and takes the drag,
To the kids who live according to their parents happiness while being bleak,
The people who are victims of activities that haunt them for the rest of their lives,
Take a breath.

The fat girls who hate their bodies,
To the kids who come to school scared,
The child who lost their parent,
To the mom who lost her baby,
To the adult who doesn’t know if they’ll make ends meet,
To the teacher who is frustrated and overloaded,
The spotlight athlete and the underdogs,
To the brothers and sisters,
The people who couldn’t care less,
To the celebrities who lost themselves,
To the girl who has never lived in a Fairytale,
To the teen holding that razor in the bathroom ready for it to end,
To the person with 4 bills that need to be paid, 3 kids in school, 2 extra shifts and 1 headache,
Take a breath.

To the next Michael Jordan,
To the person who needs a tow truck,
The girl who has a prosthetic leg,
To the kids who don’t find comfort in their parents,
To the waiter who fakes a smile and the customer who fakes it right back,
The teenagers who just can’t seem to be cool enough,
To the people who are judged for their tattoos,
To the people who just don’t know how they’re gonna get through the day,
The people who want to pull the trigger,
Take a breath.

To the kids who feel belittled, benumbed, battered, burned,
To the girls who are meager, molded, malignant, malfunctioned,
The boys who feel isolated, injured, ignorant, invalid,
The teenagers who are spiteful, shattered, stripped, spent
To the adults who are frantic, forlorn, fatigued, fumbling,
The people who feel droopy, damaged, delinquent, and destroyed,
Take a breath.

To anyone who feels like life is paralyzing them,
Take a breath.
