I keep seeing the journeys 

of other teenage girls on the internet

who have supposedly healed their minds.

They are rid of their demons

they have attained peace

I would normally point out that this is merely a pretense,

a facade perfectly curated for the eyes of young vulnerable girls.

young girls like me.

Except in this case, I want to believe that

they are telling the truth

I want to believe that these girls were able to attain peace.

young girls like me.

Because this would mean

that I can find peace too.

and how could I accuse someone of faking these feelings 

when I wouldn't like it if someone accused me of that myself?

how could I accuse these girls?

young girls like me.

I keep seeing the journeys of girls like me 

who have healed

on the internet.

Bless their hearts.
