Girl with the light hair
And green eyes
Thinks she has everything
The world in the palm of her hand
Just barely twelve
And on top of the world
But here’s the thing my dear girl
What you think is the top
Is only the beginning
So many things left to conquer
Outside of your small sheltered world
Don’t let others define you
Mold you into what they want
Learn to speak up early
Before it’s too late
Grow a backbone
And do what’s good for you
Think of yourself before others
For once
You’ve got a lot to know
Just take it in slow
Take a breath
Take a chance
Don’t live your life
In a safety net
You know that boy you swear you hate?
Well soon love will turn to like
And like into something much stronger
And not long after you find you like him
He will admit his feelings
But don’t take it to heart
Take the texts he sends
That speak of affection
With a grain of salt
Because after a period of time
All contact will cease
When he decides to ignore your presence
Until the next time he needs an ego boost
Pay no mind to the words he speaks
Because that’s what they are
Words
Empty and promise less
That he uses over and over on more than a few girls
Guard your heart even more than you do now
Because when it breaks your never quite the same
And be forewarned
You’ll never get used to what happens in the world
The good or the bad
But be sure,
Even if you feel overwhelmed by bad
There is always good
You just need to find it
Don’t lose faith in the ones around you
Walk with your head held high, back straight
Proud of who you are
And avoid the pit of despair
For once in, even if you escape
It never leaves you completely
Don’t trust to openly
There are always those willing to take advantage
Never, ever follow the crowd,
I know I’ve said this already but it’s rather important,
Be yourself
Don’t dress how society wants you to dress if you don’t want to
Don’t act how they want you to act
Because if you can’t act like yourself
You’ll become nothing,
And fade into a distant memory
Eat all your fruits and vegetables,
Although you already do
Speak up for what you believe in
For what is right
Do what you love
And listen to your parents,
They really do know what’s best,
Even if they seem like they don’t
And most of all remember
You’re beautiful,
Don’t let anyone take that away from you
Because if you do…you’ll never be the same
