Dear Child

This is a poem I wrote for my friend. I tried to make it relatable to everyone. It is from God's perspective.

Dear child,

I see the way people treat you.
The way they laugh at you and make fun of you.
And I see that fake smile you have become so good at wearing to cover up the pain you are feeling.

I hear every word and every insult.
And as they cut you deeper and deeper I feel your pain.

I see all of your thoughts and I know all of your secrets.
And when you hear voices I am the small one inside you that is trying to help.

I see you and everything you go through every day.
For I am always right beside you.

I'm with you when you stand in front of the mirror.
As you hurl insults at yourself and tell yourself how ugly you are.
I'm that voice deep inside you reminding you that you are beautiful.
That you are fearfully and wonderfully made in my image.

I'm with you when you hide in your room and start cutting your body.
And let me tell you that those cuts hurt me more than they ever will you.

I'm with you when you go on the computer and start to watch porn.
I know you are doing it because you want to feel loved.
But I am that voice crying out inside you telling you that you are loved.
And I say the same thing to those girls.

I'm with you every time you get picked on and rejected at school.
I walk right beside you with my arm around your shoulder.
Because I accept you, to me you are not invisible.

I am always with you.
I see everything you go through.
I hear every insult that is said to you.
I know all of your thoughts.
And I feel all of your pain.

Dear child you have no idea how strong you are.
I wish that I could save you, but that would defeat the plans that I have for you.
For one day this mess will be a great message.

You have a long road ahead of you.
And it will be hard.
But if you rely on me for your strength you will be able to do all things.

Finally child I want you to know that I love you and I will always be here for you.
And one day this nightmare will end.

I'm writing this at 1 in the morning so I don't know how good it will be. Hope you like it.
