A Letter to the Girl I Used to Be (A Warning)
This is a letter to you,
The girl I used to be.
This is more than that, this is a warning.
You are carefree my friend,
Happy and golden and unburdened.
You have no worries,
Just fancies and ways to obtain them.
But beware, young one.
Beware backstabbing friends,
And heartbreaking boys.
Beware driving lessons and SATs,
College applications and AP tests.
Don’t be fooled by eager directors,
You won’t be the lead in any play,
Just the supporting actress always in the background.
Beware parents who, meaning well,
May ruin your life over and over again.
Beware scary movies and cell phone bills.
Most of all, watch out for well-meaning friends,
And guy friends who go too far,
And for reality shows.
Don’t let everything corrupt you, golden child.
