Darling girl,

I see you.

I see you starve yourself to be skinny.

I see you scrutinize the model on T.V.

I see the you hide beneath your painted face.

I see the unattainable image you chase.

I see the pain you release in your scars.

I see you pinch the fat on your stomach and arms.

I see you cry yourself to sleep at night.

I see you scared of losing this battle you fight.

I see that you're tearing yourself apart.

I see you try and mend your bruised and broken heart.

I see the sadness beneath your forged smile.

I see you contemplate if life is worthwhile.

I see you even when you think I don't.

I see you when you feel that you've nowhere to go.

I see you and I just want you to know:

You're beautiful the way that you are, so please don't,

Don't underestimate all that you're worth;

You're so very special, you belong on this earth.
