I wish I could save you, my friend

You are a broken girl that has never had the chance to fall in love.

You were young when your father died,

And now you wish you could do as he did,

Leave behind a family.

I wish I could save you from all the harm the world has done to you,

But you're already too far gone.

You think boys with strong hands will save you,

And you think girls with blonde hair hate you,

And you think your mother is ashamed of who you've become,

But none of that is true.

Don't you understand that life is tough but only you can make it easier?

Please learn to love yourself

Please learn to forgive

Stop selling yourself short

And maybe then you'll see a change.
