Young GirlA Poem by Black InkThis is for all of my girls that've been told they aren't pretty enough,skinny enough, thick,are too ugly,tall,short,dark,fair,and many other things. You ladies defy everything they claim you aren't.Tears cascade down the young, broken girl's face She's lived her life being a disgrace But young girl let me tell you, You're a diamond in the rough I know you'll make it through You just can't see it yet You're blinded by the facade Hurt from all the pain Traumatize by all their lies They've left you in a world where innocence is quickly claimed, I know it's hard to open up when you're so afraid That's why I'm here to hold your hand And together we will stand Together we'll stand.. I'll help you understand That you're worth more than you think There's too much light in you for you to sink SINK Sink into the darkness Fade away from mankind You listen to those voices circling in your mind They tell you things that you can't cope So you wrap your small throat in rope But believe me, don't jump Do you think they'll care if you make it on the news? Those tears on their faces will be wiped away and you'll be dismissed So put down that blade and those cars on your wrists? Are battle scars Cuz you're a strong young girl You're here to shake up this hellish world I know where you are I've been there before And I'm still there So come with me and I'll open up the door Everone judges before they see Every flaw of yours is pure beauty They visualize a "perfect image" of us girls Small waist,flat stomach,round butts,large breasts, Plump lips,bright eyes and you know the rest Open your eyes young girl Take a good look in the mirror Enjoy the small things,like the way your hair curl © 2014 Black InkAuthor's Note
