Heres to the girl

by Ellie   Sep 7, 2006


Heres to the girl who sits and locks herself in her room blasting music while her parents scream at each other in the next room. heres to the girl who sits up late at night with a razor blade to take the edge off life.
heres to the girl who stays in with the pen and paper while others are off at parties she wasnt invited to. heres to the girl who flips though facebook photos wishing she was the one with all the friends. heres to the girl who skips class to cry in the bathroom. heres to the girl who laughs loudly so know one will see how much pain she's in. heres to the girl who looks in the mirror for hours pinching every ounce of fat on her body. heres to the girl who lives to please others. heres to the girl who runs 5 miles because she ate a cracker. heres to the girl who doesnt know who her true friends are. heres to the girl who closes her eyes and wills herself to disappear. heres to the girl who lets people call her the wrong name because she is too shy to correct them. the one who fights her mind just to stay alive. heres to the girl who cries herself to sleep hoping to never wake up. heres to the girl who sets herself up for disappointment. heres to the girl who absorbs herself in books to escape the real world. heres to the loners, the dreamers, the cutters. heres to the ones who are misunderstood. heres to the girl who can never seem to find the right words. heres to the girl who pastes on a smile just to get through family parties. heres to the girl who is constantly broken. heres to the confused ones. the distant ones. the sad ones. and heres to knowing youre not alone.
