Dear twelve year old me

dear twelve year old me

suicide is not the answer

dear twelve year old me

the things that they are saying dont matter anymore

you are not worthless

dear twelve year old me

the ones who bullied you arent in your classes anymore

youre going to love highschool

youre going to go to junior prom and senior ball

youre going to graduate with your bestfriend by your side

dear twelve year old me

the human body is going to fascinate you

youre going to become a nurse

youre going to get accepted into four colleges

youre going to get a full ride

dear twelve year old me

the first day back from college, youll find out your mother has cancer

youre going to need to be there for her

youre going to discover your grandfather had a stroke

youre going to need to be there for him

dear twelve year old me

the mind you have is compassionate

youre going to talk others out of suicide

youre going to make the elderly residents at your job feel joy again

youre going to fight for those who dont have a voice

dear twelve year old me

the relationships you have are beautiful

youre going to fall in love 

youre going to have the greatest friendships

youre going to be a role model to young girls

dear twelve year old me

you were put here to save lives

not take yours

dear twelve year old me

suicide is not the answer
