Dear 15 Year Old

Your 15 so fragile in this hard world,

But your coming out of it an easy girl,

You throw on your Jordan's and you rock your belly shirt,

And You around the block bragging about how your such a big flirt,

How he bought you this and he bought you that, 

Telling all your home girls how his pockets are fat,

But tell me 15 year old,

how long did you have to lay under his sweaty body?

Because you swear he's always going to have money and buy you a Maserati,

Remember when we high fived and said virgins all day?

What you meant was virgin until a brother is willing to pay,

If he smiles in your face and grabs your waist,

If hes fresh and and clean and his shoes are laced,

He gets it in because he has you feeling sunny,

Then you complain the next day about  how hes now acting funny,

You know every guys name and you have a list of cuddy buddies,

But your failing all your classes because you can't focus on your studies,

You know that the party starts at 10 but everyone is going to smoke at 9,

But in geometry you can't tell me how to construct a line,

You know that Bart is X and Kush is weed,

But you still asking how to spell "disagreed"

You have people around you that can help you with your work, 

But your spending time trying to figure out new ways to twerk,

You always say your mom is stupid because she can't catch you doing wrong,

You think your invincible but trust me your not that strong,

Your think you can keep this act up when your grown?

Sitting up all day gossiping on the phone?

You think hes going to stay around because you gave him some,

Nuh Uh 15 year old,

He's gone because to him your just young and dumb,

Don't you want to go far and reach the stars before you die?

Heres a secret,

You don't really fly when you get high,

God blessed you with good sense so I'm not here to preach,

But if I see wrong and I know what's right why shouldn't I teach?

It's not too late to set yourself straight,

You have all your life to have sex and date, 

You don't need a blunt to make you smile, 

Because you have a bright personality and sense of style,

Take my warning 15 year old because your on the wrong path,

The deeper you sink into this hard world the more you'll feel its wrath,

You have the potential to be great but its all on you,

Think about it 15 year old,

What do you want to do?
