Note to self . By : Camille Denine

Hey there pretty girl..

Looking at yourself in the mirror ?

The reflections of the tears you've cried & the dirt you've done couldn't be any clearer .

Covered in all of your sins 

You forget that you are human ..

& carry the weight of the world on your back.

The world is mean and cruel and full of people who attack like wolves

& they are looking at you like you are a snack.

Pretty girl , 

This is not his fault .

Blaming everything on that man 

Won't bring him back .

It won't make him treat you any better .

It won't erase your past.

It won't make the simple things that are supposed to move slow, move fast.

Do you know what you are worth?

You claim that you do 

But how can that be the truth ?

You know what your problems are ..

But have you found the root?

Because in the end you are always

 hurt .

You claim that no one puts you first..

But let's start with you .

How do you make yourself feel?

If you don't acknowledge the problem , pretty girl, how will you heal?

No one can fix what's broken inside of you.

Not even the new boy you have standing beside you .

Stop and pay attention to the little girl hiding behind you ..

She's running around in circles trying to find you ..

She is lost..

But even she can tell who's lying to who.

It's you .

You are the answer to finding yourself ..

Pretty girl .

You are the answer .
