For Emily
Insecure
 so lost inside
 feels like hope
 is maybe all but lost
 
 You hear the things
 they say about you
 you hide your face
 you show few your true self
 
 your words are broken
 like fractions of your heart
 pieces that have been strewn about
 by people undeserving
 
 voices haunt you
 looks of disapproval follow you
 and you try your hardest to keep it together
 but sometimes you cant
 
 sometimes you fall apart
 sometimes you crumble,
 into a million tiny shards
 that you think no one can fix
 
 well guess what girl?
 you don't have to worry anymore
 you don't have to waste
 you pretty little tears
 
 if you fall,
 i'll catch you
 if you break,
 i'll fix you again
 
 and no matter what
 i'll be right by your side
 through every up
 through every down.
 
 this is for you, Emily.
