"So you failed. Alright you really failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. I do understand. You wanna be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling."


You are beautiful.
You are not fat, you are not stupid.
Your heart breaks the same, but more people break it.
You face is proportional, you were made in the image of God.
You feel the same emotions to smile.
Remember, you smiled because you're happy.
No matter the color of your teeth.
You are not a mistake; he was.
That boy was just lookiing for a spree, and you were there.
Remember, stupid boys need not apply.
Everyday I count down the minutes until I can hear your laugh again.
You are someone's favorite person.
I smile because I'm about to see your face.
Your eyes, big and broken. You don't look at me but past me. Your smile has faded. A thin layer of glass wavers as it shelters your sparkling eyes. Your lips quiver and your body shakes.
You cry; I cry.
Forget all the shattered windows, vulgar names, dirt floors, raggy clothes, wasted tears, and broken hearts.
Remember all your talents, friends, and laughter.
If someone tells you to kill yourself, stand up tall and keep your head up high.
Don't go lowly, yet say; You're not worth dying for.
Because for you, no one is worth dying for.
If you have a plan with a road block in its way, go down that road.
I guarentee you will smile looking back behind your shoulder.
Stop starving yourself. Stop assaulting your body. Stop loaning your heart, and stop tearing yourself apart.
Remember all your scars.
Cherish all your dreams.
Remember all your love; no matter how bad life seems to be.
I love you.

I wrote this one day when my friend started crying in English class. We talked of our struggles, suicides, and amazing hardships that we all made it through. We are all here today to tell the story; but some are not.
