Don't trust the mirror. She will cut you when shattered Don't trust the mean girl in your class she will never see you for more than she is willing to accept. She will only see you for your flaws and scars Never for your light, for her life is dark Don't trust your teacher in the 3rd grade She will tell you that he bellies you because he likes you Don't let then confuse abuse it is not love Don't trust the ones that leave They stay for a month, then suddenly You're too cool or too smart You're too pretty. They will break your heart Don't trust the girl who talks About all the other girls' flaws Rest assured, when you get up, it will be your name on her toung Do not trust the boy who scoffs at your boundaries when you ask not to be touched He is not charming. It is not cute Don't stay with a man who uses you Don't trust the dress code that shames you for your skin Your shoulders aren't distracting to 12 year old men Your skin is not vulgar. Your stomach is not inappropriate Don't cover yourself because of toxic attention. You own your body, you alown Don't trust the man you meat at 19 he will say he is 21, but he is really 30. He will use your age against you and make you feel special But it's a lie He will use you and hurt you He will steal your innocence and run, leaving you alown and un done. Not all men are bad, but there are some. Don't close yourself off from love But don't let your love be blind You are a queen, not his pet Promise me you won't forget To love yourself as wind loves the clouds Soft but strong, quiet but loud
