I would tell her

If I could have the number

To my younger self

I would tell her

To not be scared to ask for help

And to cry without

Being scared of

Being weak

I would tell her 

It’s ok to be sad

But sunrise will come

And forgiving isn’t always the answer.

I would say

Sometimes people cross too many lines

And sometimes you don’t have to forgive

And trust shouldn’t be something given away easy,

But that’s a lesson you have to learn.

I would tell her to stay in

The present, not worry about the future,

You can wait for that

I would tell her sorry doesn’t always mean they mean it

And actions speak louder than words 

But most of all I would tell her

To just be her.
