A Letter to Myself

Little girl with red hair,
Your smile is so pretty and distracting,
Just like it’s supposed to be.
But be careful with your green eyes,
They’ve seen things they shouldn’t have.
Don’t waste your breath on pointless things,
You might not have it for long.
Keep your mind focused on what needs to get done,
Wants will distract you from having more.

People aren’t as cruel as everyone makes them to be,
But crueler than you think.
Remember that someone does care about you,
Even if you don’t care as much as you should.
Selfish thoughts should be kept inside,
Even when they’re aloud out.
Everyone has their own opinions,
So don’t judge to harshly,
And maybe one day your world won’t be so bad.
