To my younger self,

I wish you knew all that you did,

were things that no one else could,

so don't beat yourself up,

as no one should

Being sad could last a lifetime,

as you only have one life this time

Don't worry or cry about what others say,

because none of them lived in your life,

no one knew you anyway

Just think about all of the times you have failed,

that out of all of those times you prevailed.

You do not need to cry anymore,

those painful tears have dried up off the floor,

Realize now that her worth is more,

than someone who says, they don't need you anymore.
