Hey Sis...

Hey Sis

You’re beautiful

but others will only see it when you do

Hey Sis

You’re smart

but don’t let a mere mark on a paper cap your curiosity

Hey Sis

You’re brave

but don’t think this is the last time you’ll have to be brave

 

Hey Sis

The world is a dark place

but don’t think that means you won’t find happiness

Hey Sis

Guys suck

but the sweet ones are always the best actors

Hey Sis

School First

but don’t be afraid to have fun

Hey Sis

you’ll get hurt

but don’t be afraid to cry

Hey Sis

your limit is the sky

Hey Sis

no family is perfect

but that won’t stop your envy of others

Hey Sis

don’t cry

but that doesn’t mean you won’t feel the pain

Hey Sis

speak up!
but that doesn’t mean over power the voice of another

Hey Sis

Do you!

but that doesn’t mean throw your life away

Hey Sis

fuck up

but that doesn’t mean don’t learn from your mistakes

Hey Sis

head high

your limit is the sky


 

Hey Sis

Be present

but that doesn’t mean don’t day dream

Hey Sis

Apologize

but that doesn’t always mean you were at fault

Hey Sis

step up

but that doesn’t mean over exert yourself

Hey Sis

break curfew

but that doesn’t mean throw a fit when you get grounded

Hey sis

be responsible

but that doesn’t mean you’re perfect

Hey Sis

follow your heart

but that doesn’t mean let it get broken

 

Hey Sis

I love you

but that doesn’t mean I always show it
