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
