To all the Youths (The teens in my world)

It's been a while since I sat down to write... Again. This time i feel so deeply that not writing wouldn't be fair. 

A little poetry, or a little text I should say for ALL the teens (the youths, young people) in my world; a group of people I deeply love, I care about, I enjoy, I believe in, I am proud of.. I wish someday, heavens would open wide upon my life and grant me the opportunity to do my portion in creating a safer world for these precious group I adore... The teens.. The youths, the precious ones; also unfortunately, the often misunderstood ones.. This note is just for yous (written with much love)

Once you were little, but not anymore..

Once playing with little cars and pink little dolls made all the sense, but now,hmm...  Not exactly..

Once jumping around, being silly seemed pretty fun, but now.. You wonder if you should 

Once everything in the world seemed pretty safe, but now.. Fear is reality..

Once you smiled at you everyday, now you wonder if being you is ok...

Once everyboday smiled and called you cute.. Now.. Everyone tells you that you can never be good..

Once you knew you are loved, but now.. It seems no one cares..

Once being understood was never the issue.. Now you ask.. "do you even understand?"

Once friends were friends.. But now.. Who are really friends, you sit and think..

You are no longer little, more than anyone, you know..

You have something to say.. It screams pretty loud within..

And no one may be listening... 

So you sit wondering if who you are is even worthy... If what you say or think even matters...

Loneliness sometimes become a friend.. And you wonder "will someone ever hear me again"..

Being someone else.. Seems like a good thing.. Good enough so you can hide behind the wall..

Where no one can see, and no one would know..

That there is you somewhere in between...

Whoever you are, I’m sure you're there.

Within the layers of life.. The precious you remains

Be rest assured, that you are deeply loved

Keep in your heart, that there are eyes watching..

Everything you are is precious and important..

Everything you can be.. Is awesome and incredible..

Be rest assured, that through the difficult waters..

You will find your way and make life count..

Keep in heart and keep in mind.. That should you be lost means we have failed.

Ensuring you are ok.. Wil always be a priority and privilege for me and I hope for more than me..
