Misshapen

Hello girl, why do you cry

Do you cry because your nose is too big, or your eyes too small?

Because the boy you like doesn't know your name,

even though you've had class after class together since freshman year?

Maybe you eat because you feel so much,

you have to fill the wholes with something.

Perhaps you gave everything you had, 

to a guy that never planned on staying.

Bacause you try to be a the best friend, 

to a girl who only like's you when its convenient. 

Maybe your parents push you hard,

and they do more damage than good.

Perhaps you just feel alone, 

like the mishappen piece that no one wants.

It's okay to cry, but you don't have too.

Because through all you've lived.

You cannot die of a broken heart, 

so pick up your chin.

When people leave,

they leave for a reason.

Be patient,

and love will find you, in one of its many forms.

You are better than the tears,

and that part of you left untouched by soceties cruel jokes,

will take over. 

You will know you are powerful, intelligent, FLAWLESS.
