A Letter to My 10th Grade Self

Dear me,

Put the blade down, wipe those tears

Please stop abusing your body

Climb out of bed, put a smile on your face

Be the happy person you used to be

Make yourself public at family events, go to school

Stop hiding in the dark part of your mind

Put yourself in positive situations, do what you used to love

This may be hard, but it’s the right thing to do

Talk to your parents, I promise they love you

Just wait and see everything will be okay

This shouldn’t be the answer to a broken heart
