I was that girl that you saw as awkward

I am that girl you painfully judged

I am that girl you forgot about

I am that girl you ignored

I am that friendship you did not maintain

I am that person you spoke badly about

But...

I am a woman

I am human

I hurt in the same ways you hurt

I cry over the same things you cry for

I am not less, and you are not more

Maybe one day your eyes will open

Maybe one day you will see

Maybe one day there will be genuine kindness in your eyes, but today you are blind.

Don’t forget that person. BE MORE.
