Advice

the worst advice
i've ever gotten
is to forget.
is to write you.
is to not reach out.

the best advice
i've ever gotten
is to be true to you.

"words are just words,
don't let them hurt,
push past, on by,
sticks and stones,
all that shit."

words are powerful
they can kill
even if you don't mean
for them to hurt.

intention matters.
but it matters
what you say,
too.

the worst advice
i've ever gotten
is to doubt,
maybe that one
i gave to myself.

the best advice
i've ever gotten
came from a stranger
who told me to believe.

"words are just words,
they don't hurt,
if they're meant to,
maybe they sting,
but if they don't,
they do nothing."

words are powerful
they can save a life
especially if you don't mean
for them to hurt.

i believe in little things
the advice, and all the dreams.

what do i do when i'm pushed down again,
i fight, sort of, and pretend.

i'll be fine.
that's my advice.
be fine.
that's my advice.

don't fight to be perfect
just fight to survive.
find what makes you happy
and let go.

be fine.
that's my advice.
you'll be fine.
that's my advice.
