Hey babes! GL reader Alexia H. tells us she's not a writer, but the poem she sent in definitely tells another story. Take a peek and tell us what you think in the comments.

What they don't tell you

Is that you don't live forever.

They lead you to believe

That it's all perfect,

That everything's peachy

Until it comes crumbling down.

What they don't tell you 

Is that you can save a life,

By telling someone that

All they need to do is stay strong.

What they don't tell you

Is that some of the most

Inspirational people,

Are the ones you've never met.

What they don't tell you

Is that everyone has scars,

Just not everyone wears them

On the outside.

What they don't tell you

Is that you are perfect

You just don't see it yet.

What they do tell you

Is that you are just a kid

That you can't do anything,

But really you are one of the most amazing people in the world.
