cigarettes]]
i do not blame the girl who thinks she’s too fat, i blame the skewed media that teaches her that size 7 is not thin enough. i do not blame the girl who has become an alcoholic, i blame the man who cheated on her, twice. i do not blame the girl who wants a nose reduction, i blame the children on the afternoon bus who call her pinocchio. i do not blame the girl who sleeps around, i blame the man who once told her she was worth nothing more than the mattress she laid on. i do not blame the girl for her obsession with cigarettes, but i blame her parents for never warning her of its deadly dangers. i do not blame the girl that slices into her wrists, i blame her best friend for battering and tearing her apart, slowly. i. do. not. blame. the. girl.
