This is for those who at hurting, who have been beaten and abused. 

Here I am.

This is for those who have never felt loved or have never thought themselves worthy of love.

Here I am.

This is for those who are angry or upset and are longing to be heard.

Here I am.

This is for those who have been abandoned and have had to take care of themselves.

This is for those who have had to fight, but no one to fight for them.

Here I am.

This is for those who have been called fat, or ugly, or stupid.

This is for those who have been told that they are just not good enough.

This is for those who need encouragement, but can't find a source.

Here I am.

This is for those who have absolutely nowhere to go and no one to comfort them.

This, this is for those who need to be told that they are wanted and that they are worth it.

Here I am.

Too many time I've seen people so defeated, so done with life, who have lost all hope.

Im ashamed to admit I've let them pass more times than I haven't.

This message isn't just for those who have lost their purpose.

This is for those like me, who have stood on the sidelines and watched that hope fade.

This is for those who have been too scared, too blind, too proud to help those in need.

This message is for those that need to take a stand.

It starts with us.

Here we are.

This is also for those of you on the other side.

Who have told someone that they are nothing, pushed them into a locker, used social media as your weapon, started rumors about someone because they are different.

This is for those who constantly hurt other people to feel better about yourself.

Here I am.

This is for those who need a friend.

I am here.
