A Letter To My Old Self

Don’t tell someone you’re fine 

When you know it’s all a lie 

Don’t be afraid to tell them the truth 

When they make you cry 

It’s okay to be upset 

When things don’t turn out right  

But always remember 

That hope is in sight   

So take your scraped knees                                         

And get back on that bike                               

Don’t be afraid to fall                                     

Or you’ll never learn to ride                           

The journey is the hardest part                                   

But I promise you it’s worth it                                               

Never forget about hope                                             

And how much you deserve it                                    

The climb took time                                        

And now I’m at the top                                   

I learned some things the hard way                

But chaos has come to a stop                                      

So when the world falls apart                         

Right before your eyes                                                

In the midst of tragedy                                               

Hope will arise                                                            

Remember how much you’re worth               

Never let others bring you down                    

Because the worst way to fall                         

Is from being pushed, only to drown             

Always keep the friends                                 

That stay for the worst                                    

For they will always stick around                   

So forever put them first

I wish I had this advice

When I was young and small

So take advantage of it and live your life

Before life brings you to your downfall.
