The Outcast
To the you,
that girl who
used to seek his approval.
To the you,
the one who needed
everyone to accept you
because you could not accept
yourself.
That you,
the little girl
who looked in the mirror
and saw all that she’s not.
She saw everything
bad and let go of
everything good,
because the past
hurt her.
That’s not you
anymore.
