Do you know that girl?
The girl who seems perfect in every way
The one who is skinny and attracts men like moths
You think she is brilliant and beautiful
You believe she has it all
But under the makeup and Cheer Uniform
There is a little girl
Who is scared for people to know the real her
A little girl who is afraid of speaking her mind
She has scars like you and me
She cries those bitter salty tears that burn inside your heart
She bleeds as much as we do with slit wrists
On the outside looking in, this girl is perfect
But from the inside, you can hear her heart crying in the night
Begging to be loved and held
Not sure how to express this pain, she hides behind her smile
That damned fake smile that hurts inside your soul
You see her with no worries or cares
She sees herself as weak
I see her as my best friend
Who is trying to carry the weight of the world on her own
She is always there for me
I try to be there for her
But she doesn't let anyone in
It's that old thought;
"If I don't let anyone in, no one can hurt me."
But in the end... You hurt yourself more
And those who love you, hurt because you hurt
Those texts...
I hate those texts
The texts of blood, pain, and tears
I have lost too many to those texts
My Best Friend, Don't Join Those Other Texts <3
