to my teenage self,

you can be amazing, don’t put your skills on a shelf.

I am you,

I have the future view.

your sweetness may

seem like a weakness

but it brightens your shine.

because all in due time,

they will bask in your light,

and you will be alright.

because your are strong

and you belong.

you are stunning in every way

you are not nothing, no matter what they say.

so, my dear, set your sights on the horizon,

you will not frighten.

I do not lie,

good luck and goodbye
