ode to the underdog.

This is for the other girl. 
For the girls who feel like the other girl.
This is for the lonely girl who peruses the romance section of the library. 
This is for the outcasts. 
This is for those who eat lunch alone. 
For those who don't eat lunch at all.
let it go
This is for the girl who cries herself to sleep every night. 
For the boy who caused her heartache. 
This is for all the girls. 
The girls who study every "chick flick" and spend their days waiting for that guy on his noble steed to show up. 
Let it go.
This is for all those who love it when their cell phone declares they've got no service. 
Searching.... 
Let it go. 
This is for the nerds. 
This is for the boys with commitment issues. For the girls who cry over them. 
This is for the broken hearted. 
Let it go.
For the used. 
The stressed. 
The nervous. 
Let it go.
This is for the failures. 
The ones who don't see the potential in themselves. 
The potential to be great. 
Greater than great.
Let it go. 
This is for the single mothers. 
For their daily struggles. 
This is for the sisters. 
The brothers. 
Let it go.
This is for the fakers. 
The pretenders. 
Let it go. If you let it affect you, they win. They are wrong. You know that. Let it go.You are pretty. Someone does love you. You are not alone. Don't be afraid to just be yourself. Yourself is good enough. 




This is for you. 
Are you listening?
