Stop. Look. Listen.


Stop. Don't do it. We love you. You harming yourself, isn't going to help you. It only hurts you more. They are the scars, They stay there forever. You won't get them removed. You CAN'T get them removed. Please Stop. You can't do this. By hurting you, You hurt me. I love you, We love you. Don't forget. Look. We are here for you. Don't blow us off. You want to fell better, So keep us close. Don't slip away from the grasp of love. We wouldn't be here if we didn't love you. Look again. There's your future. A doctor. A lawyer. A veterinarian. A president. Do you want, to throw it all away? Listen. We have good advice. You may have heard it, But you may not have listened to it. You are beautiful, Because you are unique. There is only one of you Out of the over 7 BILLION people we have on Earth. You are a loved one, A friend. You have talents, Beyond your wildest imagination. You are brilliant. Looks, aren't everything. Looks are an image. An image can be distorted, But the meaning will never change. My dear, Don't harm yourself. Keep in mind To Stop. To Look. To Listen.
