TruthA Poem by Shannon Miller
Dear girl:
Young and beautiful Full of life and dreams Your aspirations are pure Sunlight, rainbows, joy Love, kindness, peace The world is opportunity Your life is freedom But there will come a day Reality will hit you in the face You'll wake up some day And realize that real life Is a b***h She will try to bury you In lies, pain, shame Loneliness, depression, confusion She will say you're not enough Imperfect, ugly, useless She will keep the Truth from you What is the Truth? The Truth, my love, Is that you are beautiful You are strong Full of potential Real life will hide Your dreams and your ability To go where you want Look past her Keep dreaming Learn to love who you are Your uniqueness Your grace Your passion Your quirks The things about you That make others uncomfortable Because they don't know Their own worth So they can't see yours Remember who you are And what you want And the world won't stand a chance
