You Will Survive
Dear Past Self,
It's okay that you're unsure.
It's okay that you are lost and want to be kind and pure;
You will survive.
It's okay that after she dies,
Six months later, you find that you still cry.
You will survive.
It's okay that their fights are unsettling.
Even though he won't wear his ring,
You will survive.
It's okay that now you have less friends.
Please, don't blame yourself for how it ends.
You will survive.
It's okay to take his advice;
After what they said, you don't have to be nice.
You will survive.
It's okay to find your voice.
After all, college is your choice,
And you will survive.
It's okay to fight.
Just because you love her, doesn't make her right.
You will survive.
It's okay that you think this is goodbye.
The truth will shine through the lie,
And you will survive.
It's okay that it was the worst night.
Once you remeber who you are, you'll see the light.
You will survive.
Life will have its ups and downs.
Not everything has to be okay right now.
The trials make you appreciate life even more,
And even though now your heart is sore,
I promise to you that you will survive,
And come back stronger than before.
Sincerely, the New You that Survived
