You cannot tell sad girls
that they are pretty
unless you are willing to hold them
as they sob hysterically at 3 am.
You are not allowed to tell sad girls that they are
perfect
if you have never seen the wounds that litter their
bodies
that represent each little battle lost in a war with
themselves.
And I am begging you, please do not tell sad girls
that you are in love with them
unless you truly and enirely are.
