Run your own world.
Walk into that school like you own it.
But don’t get too stubborn.
Let people into your life.
But don’t let them get too close.
Ask questions in math, even if you want to strangle that gray haired guy with the mustache.
Be nice to the girls you envy.
Don’t make google eyes at the eighth grade boys that don’t care about you.
Own that one direction t-shirt.
Be as loud as you want on the bus.
Do not under any circumstances fall for that stupid boy.
Be your own person.
Run your own world.
Love yourself with all you have.
Smile as big as you can.
Run that mile.
Find a love for writing.
Do not let that stupid boy ruin your dreams.
Go to school make up free.
Run your own world.
Be happy.
Don’t think of hurting yourself.
Be friends with boys.
Listen to the girl that you thought would never be your best friend.
Have fun.
Play with your dog.
Be nice to your parents, they know best.
Spend time with your cousins that actually do love you.
Keep your sass, but don’t overuse it.
Know that you are beautiful.
Run your own world.
Let summer be your best friend.
Don’t lose contact with your old friends.
Be who you really are.
Eat that whole pizza by yourself.
Take your nephew to the park.
Rebel every now and then.
Let them laugh in your face.
Make them wonder how does she do that.
Be stronger than you were yesterday.
Run your own world baby girl.
Cry your eyes out.
Only you can make that conversation awkward.
Talk to your childhood crush.
Be a role model for your niece.
You are going to screw up.
You will get screwed over.
You will laugh loud.
People will ruin you.
But that’s what makes you stronger.
But most importantly.
Run your own world.

I wrote this for my english class, This piece is really who I am. I am 15 now, and I wish this is what I would have been when I was that age, but I love this so much.
