This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Rowan chapter.
Please tell me
what it feels like
when someone you trusted
twists your words and spreads
them all over school,
tells you that you’re not worth it anymore,
tells you you’re just some lonely girl
with no purpose.
Please tell me how “words can never hurt me.”
Especially since words are the only thing
I have
to fight back;
yet, you tell me
they’re worthless, too.
Please tell me those 9 years
were worth my silence,
that the days I spent crying
were just the healing process,
that my self-esteem will one day be restored.
Please tell me that one day
you’ll tell the next girl to fight back
instead of ignoring the one thing
that’s destroying her.
