when will she
wake up to reality to realize that
none of it is normal?
that they
all just so happen to be signs of
depression
the same signs that she saw herself go through countless of times before
oh cara mia someone please I'm
begging you,
wake her up, my
baby girl wouldn't like this.
she wouldn't like seeing her older self
doubt her "pretty princessness"
she wouldn't like seeing her older self ridicule her for
small honest mistakes
she wouldn't like seeing her older self not be able to get out of bed some days and function like a
normal person
she wouldn't like seeing her older self
starve, out of
hatred for
her own body and the
tiredness of life
she wouldn't like seeing her older self
fail.
wake up to reality, for her, for the 4 year old girl who thought she was the
prettiest girl at the party, the 4 year old girl who liked
unicorns and pink, the 4 year old girl who still played with
Barbies, for
my 4 year old little girl who was
forced to grow up too quickly, the one who could
eat whatever without worrying about
the number on the scale.
if you cant do it for you then do it for the child inside you, for the old you, stay strong for the girl who went to tea parties with her stuffed animals, you'll soon realize that all along you're still that girl who watched shimmer&shine wishing upon stars at 11:11 that you too could have a genie of your own. You are the genie, you can make all her wishes come true, but first make your own wish come true, be successful and survive for her if not for yourself, if not for your friends or family, do it for her. Because no matter what you do she'll always find a way to be so proud of you, to admire you, to "I wanna be like you when I grow up."
