Dear me at 13

Dear me "at 13!!
Come on little broken girl
Pick up your feet
Try to forget the things that you've seen
Don't swallow cheap wine
It won't hold it at bay
Oh my dear girl You will find a way.
The salt on your tongue So bitter it's sweet
Try to imagine all the beautiful people your heart will meet.
I can see you falling
But there's something I need to say
Don't swirl with the spiral
There is another way
I can see it there deep in your eyes
But the temptation will only bring your demise
Think of it this way, you'll be no better than they,
Think of it deeply Be steady, don't sway Your more than what you think you are, you have so much more worth
Please don't destroy it
Stay grounded, here on earth.
I can see you holding on
Your nails Leave a mark
Claw a little deeper
Climb out from the dark.
Reach a little further
Dig in your heels
Don't fall where they lay
You already no how empty it feels.
Look at you standing there You think you no it all
Skinny legs and freckled cheeks
Cigarette dangling from your teeth
Think you can handle all it entails
Think that your old
My dear are you frail
Go on then do it
Or are you all talk
I see you moving
But can you walk their walk
That's right your scared
And so you should be
Come over here
Finish this conversation with me
I no you want to listen
You don't fool me They have all fallen
And yet you stand here
Legs that are shaken
Bravado tries to encapsulate your face
Did I hear correctly
You think you run on this race
Oh dear me at 13, don't let it take away the you I have seen
Come down now softer
I won't let you fall
Come on my girl Stand up nice and tall
Arch your back
One foot at a time Step down of the craziness It doesn't suit you at all
Come down now dear girl
Put your feet on the floor
You made it
I told you All on our own And they are all homeless
And this is your home
You did it
I believe you What did I hear you say
Remember this forever
Remember this for always
Wipe the trickling of those tears
Now you make your own fate
Now my girl you take control
Don't suffocate on the hate
you can make it
Despite the falling odds Keep waking tall And if you pass them just nod
Together we made it yes you me and I
Together no limit We no longer want to cry
Pulled up your collar turned the other way
Your strong my girl For I never even seen you sway
