Dear Young Woman
Dear young woman on the other end of the computer screen,
odds on, I don't
Know you.
odds on, I will never
know you
Personally.
But I
Know
you.
Dear young woman
Who's been told that
she can't,
you're never
so worthless...
Dear young woman
Who's been betrayed
abused
raped
by someone you
loved
trusted
believed in,
you're never
so used...
so worthless...
Dear young woman
Who's given yourself up
to so many people
looking for
one companion
but who's always been
dropped
in the end,
you're never
so broken...
so used...
so worthless...
Dear young woman
Who's a single mother
a mother to be
or may never be a mother at all,
you're never
so alone...
so broken...
so used...
so worthless...
Dear young woman
Who's been rejected
by the person she
admired most,
you're never
so desperate...
so alone...
so broken...
so used...
so worthless...
Dear yound woman
Who's hurting herself
physically
mentally
emotionally,
you're never
so battered...
so desperate...
so alone...
so broken...
so used...
so worthless...
Dear young woman,
You're never so battered, desperate, alone, broken, used or worthless
that you can never be loved again.
It may
seem
hopeless
now.
But you still have time.
Sincerely,
The young woman on the other end of the computer screen,
who, odds on, you don't
Know.
odds on, you will never
know
Personally.
who loves you
very much.
Sleep well, my sister.
