dear girl,

you're always smiling through the haze of pain, smiling because you can't bear to let others worry over you. you're always laughing to cover up that sorrow, because you know that people would prefer to hear that light happy sound than your heart wrenching sobs. you're storing it up inside that tiny bottle inside your heart, all the pain, anger, hurt and frustration, until you're certain that any day now, that tiny bottle is going to crack and break.

you only ever look into the mirror to see the imperfections, the blemishes, the over sized thighs and not-quite-so-flat stomach. you never see how your hair is the deepest shade of auburn which other girls would kill to have, you never see how your mouth is just the right size and shape just waiting to be kissed. you never see how boys gaze appreciatively at you when you walk down the street, you only see the sneers and glares of those girls who seem to be made of matchsticks, who by media's standards are 'perfect'.

you settle for second best, even when you know that you deserve better than him. you listen as he sings sweet nothings into your ear, you sigh as he whispers those beautiful lies across your tingling skin. and you foolishly let your heart believe him, because you don't know what you'll do when you realise that they'll never come true; not for you. yet addiction is a sweet indulgence, is it not?

maybe, darling girl, one day you'll realise that you don't need to cover up that butterfly inside of you who's trying to take flight. you'll realise that you deserve only the best that this world has to offer, because no one should settle for anything less than that. you'll realise that being yourself is the only thing that is worth it in the end, because you are beautiful, you are wonderful, and no one can ever replace that spark which you bring to the world.

so dearest girl, smile.
don't ever stop smiling.

love, me.
Written for all of you girls.
I may not have ever met you, talked to you or smiled at you, but you are worth it all the same.
Remember, I love you.

i'm so emotional these days and this made me cry with happiness. it's so beautiful! YOU and your mind are so beautiful.
smile and look into the sky and sun and look at the beauty that is around you because you incorporate all of it.
