if i could speak to teenaged me

if i could speak to teenaged me.
what i would say,
is something to take the sadness
away.
i would tell the troubled girl
to hold on to her self worth,
nothing is worth losing it for,
nor is anyone here on earth.
i would tell her that she
should follow her dreams,
and not be derailed by
other's manipulations
and schemes.
lastly i would tell her
that being a teen is
hard but is also gold.
and those years will
be missed,
when she gets old
