PAIN
HEY YOU. YOU WITH THE RAZOR.
YOU ARE NOT UGLY,
UNWANTED OR STUPID.
PUT THAT RAZOR DOWN.
PEOPLE LOVE YOU AND DON'T WANT YOU HURT-OR DEAD-FROM CUTTING.
LISTEN, EAT WHAT YOU WANT TO.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE YOURSELF.
WHOEVER JUDGES YOU FOR
YOUR WEIGHT NEEDS TO BE SLAPPED
BEING YOURSELF DOESN'T MAKE YOU FAT.
IT MAKES YOU BE DIFFERENT FROM
THE REST OF THE WORLD.
HEY, PUT DOWN THOSE DRUGS.
THERE WILL BE BETTER THINGS TO
HELP YOU THAN THE ALCOHOL AND
WEED. EVERYTHING WILL END UP WORSE
WITH THE DRUGS IN YOUR BODY.
HEY YOU. PUT THAT GUN DOWN
I LOVE YOU AND SO DO OTHER PEOPLE.
YOU ARE NOT WORTHLESS.
YOU ARE PERFECT AND AMAZING.
YOU DESERVE TO MAKE YOUR LIFE BE ALL
YOU WANT IT TO BE.
SO DON'T BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFULLY FLAWED AND
YOUR IMPERFECTIONS MAKE YOU PERFECT.
DON’T LET PAIN CONTROL YOU.
PAIN KILLS YOU DEEP DOWN, MAKES YOU CRY.
IT MAKES YOU WANT TO JUST END IT ALL TONIGHT
BUT YOU CAN'T GIVE UP ON YOURSELF.
YES, PAIN WILL TOY WITH YOU, BUT IN THE END
YOU WILL BE OVER ALL THIS PAIN
