Dear teenage girls,

Stop it.

Stop writing about cutting
when you don't want to cut.

Stop writing about depression
when you're a little upset

It's not cool.

Write about what's important to you,
not about what everyone else is writing about.
Be your own person,
because you are amazing,
and you are so much more than this,
a poem about scars you don't have,
and a razor blade you don't own,
and the nights you never spent crying.

Write about you,
the real you.

Be original.
