Communication Quote by P!nk
“Conversations with my thirteen year old self Conversations with my thirteen year old self You're angry I know this The world couldn't care less You're lonely I feel this And you wish you were the best No teachers Or guidance And you always walk alone You're crying At night when Nobody else is home Come over here and let me hold your hand and hug you darling I promise you that it won't always feel this bad There are so many things I want to say to you You're the girl I used to be You little heartbroken thirteen year old me You're laughing But you're hiding God I know that trick too well You forget That I've been you And now I'm just the shell I promise I love you and Everything will work out fine”
