To All Girls

This is a poem of encouragement for any girl who's felt self conscious (so every girl at some time or another): It's another day in your school hallway. A place where insecurity and low confidence run rampant, where self consciousness breeds, a deadly virus to anyone who catches it. You duck your head, avoiding eye contact to try to avoid that girl whose eyes are glittering emeralds, and another girl whose bra you could only fill halfway, another whose taking classes that are miles ahead of yours. More people pass you  by, and you realize that you've compared yourself to each and every one of them
