what you would say to someone in high school

Hey girl, I know what you are going through is tough right now and you wish that you didn't exist. I know what has been on your mind. What good would it be if it were all over? What would you have proven in life? You have a goal to reach. Since you were young you were always talking about making a difference in life, doing something that no one else will do. What makes you think that being just like everyone else, dressing in the latest fashion, having the latest electronics or gorgeous body, most popular, will fill a void that is already full?
What you value most in life is God, your parents, respect, dignity, purity, abstinence, perseverance, wisdom. These are the things that you must worry about. These are the qualities that will get you where you need to be, where you want to go and who you will become in the near future.
Trust me, it may be read easier than it looks but it works, stay true to who you are and don't let anyone define you. Set your aims high, and whatever it is that you are searching for will find you.

MVP-Most Valuable Poet

when i read this poem, it reminds me of how i speak to my young people in raising awareness

i'm also a counselor, and an educator, along with me being a poet

this is a poem that many people don't prioritize on what's important 

nowadays, it's all about latest trends and fashion, but at the same time, one must find their true self

this poem speaks in high volumes in terms of honesty and relevance

well done

have you thought about collaborating poems with me? i've collaborated with several poets and its been amazing
