Here’s to the boys who shy away in the overwhelming school showers because they don’t have the physique of a male model.

Here’s to the boys with purple and bleeding knuckles from punching mirrors because they’re angry at themselves for pretending to love the taste of girls lips when all they dream about is being to hold another boys embrace.

Here’s to the girls who stand in showers with raw, red skin from trying to scrub away the dirt and grime covering them like a second skin because someone stole innocence that didn’t belong to them.

Here’s to the teenagers who’s knuckles turn white from gripping onto their school desks; trying desperately to hold onto reality while their bodies shake,breathing quickens and vision blurs.

Here’s to the teenagers who sob their heart outs as they try to sew their hearts back together and be whole once again.

Here’s to the teenagers who are slammed into lockers, labeled “freaks” and blend into the walls as if they are merely shadows.

Here’s to the girls who scream into pillows because they trusted their precious heart with the wrong person.
