my niece is two years old.
she’s innocent, and beautiful.
she has the purest soul.

I pray the world does not break her,
yet I know she can’t be saved.
I wish every night she never starves herself,
she never has her makeup caked.

I hope to God she only thinks of depression as a ten letter word,
and suicide is only heard of on the news.
I beg to shooting stars that she never lets a boy determine her worth,
that she never allows him to leave her heart bruised.

God, don’t you ever let her cry herself to sleep,
never let her face death alone,
Don’t let her drink away the pain,
and God, if you’re listening, never turn her precious heart to stone.

my niece is two years old.
she’s fucking beautiful.
she has the purest soul. I won’t let it be stolen.

“Dear Future Daughter: 1) When you’re at some party, chain smoking on the roof with some strange girl with blue hair and exorbitant large dark eyes, ask her about her day. I promise you, you won’t regret it. Often times you’ll find the strangest of people have the most captivating of stories to tell. 2) Please, never mistake desire for love. Love will engulf your soul, whilst desire will emerge as acid, slowly making it’s way through your veins, gradually burning you from the inside out. 3) No one is going to fucking save you, anything you’ve read or heard otherwise is bullshit. 4) One day a boy is going to come along who’s touch feels like fire and who’s words taste like vanilla, when he leaves you, you will want to die. If you know anything at all, know that it is only temporary. 5) Your mental health comes before school baby, always. If its midnight, and you have an exam the next day but your hands have been shaking for the past hour and a half and you’re not so sure you want to be alive anymore, pull out that carton of Ben and Jerry’s and afterwards, go the fuck to bed. So what if you get a 68% on the exam the next day? You took care of yourself and at the end of the day that will always come before a high test score. To hell with anyone who tells you differently”
