Letters/Notes: from Adrianna Matthews [To The Girl Who Always Struggled]


To The Girl Who Always Struggled

To the girl who always struggled
We will not say your name
But I just want to let you know
I understand your pain.

To the girl who always struggled
Do not feel ashamed
Life is full of troubles
But in return strength is gained.

To the girl who always struggled
Do not feel alone
Someday it will be over
At peace and rest will be your soul 

To the girl who always struggled 
I know your heart lies in vain
But there is greatness in your tomorrow
Just keep waiting for your day.

Once upon a time
There was born a little girl
Fragile, battled, scared and broken
Was her placement in this world
Lost, and hopeless
She could not focus
Too many burdens in her heart
Distance and dependence
Then became her mark
Her life was shattered
Fearful, scattered
She always felt apart
Longing for another
To heal and cleanse
Her from the dark
Although she knew
That she was special
Her sadness
Overtook her spark
For many years
Enslaved she labored
As a victim of her scars

To the girl who always struggled
Girl you gotta be strong
Fight through your pain
Allow your happiness to grow

To the girl who always struggled
Put a smile on your face 
Today it may have rained
But there will be brighter days

To the girl who always struggled 
You Gotta tough big old heart
Battling many demons
Trust I know that it’s hard

To the girl who always struggled
God will keep you in grace
Girl I’m living proof
That you will get through your pain

I used to be stressed everyday
Whole life was just a mess
Praying every night
For someday to wake up blessed
Confused about who I was
Couldn’t stand to bare this flesh
I stayed getting teased  
Not a day I had to rest
Misunderstood for my skin
I was too light
And that wasn’t right
Not black enough 
But still too dark to pass for white
Never fit in
It doesn’t matter everywhere I go
Identified as strange and the girl no one really knows
Pitiful I felt 
All alone a broken soul
Holding so much anger
Always ready to explode 
I had to make a change soon
So I could finally feel whole
No this life ain’t good for me
 I have to let it go.

To the girl who always struggled
If you think you gotta bad
Understand I’m by your side 
Appreciate what you have

To the girl who always struggled
You have to find yourself quick
Your life is passing by 
While you’re crying, dying 
You cannot quit!

To the girl who always struggled
You must toughen up
There’s others out there fighting
Deeper battles then you love

To the girl who always struggled
You have to heal your own heart
Be an inspiration
Show the world who you are

So I gave up all the crying
Whipped the tears from my eyes
No longer insecure or broken
No more hurting my pride  
I ripped through all my scars 
As I drained out the pain
Gonna make it my choice,
 to be happier today
Finally felt relief
I could finally escape
For the first time in my life
I felt I was brave
Then I opened up my heart
Had reinsurance 
Strength was gained
Now I see the light
No longer do I feel at shame

To the girl who always struggled
Don’t you wanna feel alive?
Quit bringing down yourself
There’s so much beauty deep inside

To the girl who always struggled
Don’t let your skin be a threat
Find acceptance within yourself
There will no more neglect

To the girl who always struggled
So you’re different
But that’s bold
You are unique
And you are pretty
It’s time that you show off your glow

To the girl who always struggled
Come on let’s be happy and free
Today is your tomorrow
Now be the best you can be
