This is my letter addressed to you
to everyone and anyone who knows me
or knew me once before.
I know I've changed and I still have a ways to go
but please listen to my ideas
instead of shaking your head.
I know you may not believe in the same things I do.
But I have my own reasons like you have yours.
Please listen to what I have to say.
Don't be so quick to judge.
I am still the little girl you knew
with pigtails and a big wide smile.
I am still the teen that you knew so well
who misbehaved and did everything wrong
who dyed her hair every color and pierced things on her own.
I am still the same girl who went to church every Sunday
and believed in the God Almighty.
I am always and forever changing and growing in this world
so whether you disagree with what I am doing
or disagree with where I'm going
please do not ignore me,
please do not disown me.
Accept the old and new me and
comfort me and guide me while I am on this rugged path
I need you more than you'll ever know.
(I value your opinion and take it into consideration)
for you are shaping who I will soon become.
Love Yours Forever Truly,
Cole.
