Darling,

did you ever realize

just how harsh society is?

 

I'm guessing you have,

because I've noticed that lately,

you haven't been the same.

 

For some reason,

society chose to misguide you,

and you've become damaged.

 

And it's quite a shame,

for I wish you could see yourself

the way I see you.

 

But being damaged,

does not mean broken.

Always remember that.

I wrote this poem for a dear friend of mine, who's battling with depression and an eating disorder - trying to fit in with society's ideas of beauty.  What I want people to realize is that beauty isn't what the media advertises, it's so much more than just your physical appearance.  Every single one of you is beautiful.
