To The Girl With Long Sleeves

Written by: Juliana Lebron 

 

To the girl with long sleeves

To the girl with long sleeves in the middle of July, 

Wishing that someone could hear your cries for help,

Feeling sad, wishing that others would care about  your mental health,

To the girl with long sleeves, 

We can see the pain in your eyes, 

People ask if your okay, but all they hear is lies,

To the girl with sleeves, 

Who makes everyone laugh, 

We see your smile, 

We see your smile, 

We see your smile, 

The smile that covers the pain,

When no one knows that your going insane, 

To the girl with long sleeves,

Whos thinking of a way out, 

Suicide, suicide rates arising because these people are deprived from love, 

They want to go above, 

To the girl with long sleeves, 

We hear you. We love you. And we need you. 

The smile that covers the pain,

When no one knows that you're going insane, 

To the girl with long sleeves,

Who's thinking of a way out, 

Suicide, suicide rates arising because these people are deprived from love, 

They want to go above, 

To the girl with long sleeves, 

We hear you. We love you. And we need you.
