Diary of "a" Girl

Written on 1/17/13 at around 10:50pm. This poem isn't about anyone in particular, it's just my observation

I look at you all
And you think I'm a complete stranger to you
I look at your faces,
I see the effort you made to feel pretty this morning
I see the pain in your heart
The fear in your eyes
When you realize I see what's beneath

You're afraid I hear the rumble in your stomach
Because you refuse to eat

You think I'll catch a glimpse of the marks
If your skin shows for even a second

Will I notice the exhaustion
Always lingering in your heart

Wondering if you'll ever be enough
Never realizing you're more than anyone deserves

No one will notice what you go through
Because they're too busy with themselves, right?

I spend every moment wishing I could hold you
feeding you that endless embrace
making you feel like the pretty girl that God made you

You always feel alone
Because no one could possibly understand you
even in a crowd
Even through the words I say

It's okay
It's going to be okay
I will be there with you
ready to catch you when you fall

I love you
It's time to love yourself
I'm here for you
