The whirs and whims of this life and this time do not interest you. Your problems cut deeper than the problems of your generation. Where people concern themselves with the Kardashians and the next best things, you concern yourself with worldly matters and humanity. Where others throw words of hate to one another, you lend a listening ear.

Your heart may be young, but God knows everyone and their mother can see your wisdom. And you don't seem to truly know where it came from. You have advice to give for days and you somehow never even have to offer it, people just come to you naturally for it.

You get so caught up in the frustrations of not being understood by every single f*cking peer around you. You want to shake them. You want them to understand how much the new iPhone release doesn't matter.It's as if no one understands.

You're the type of person who surprises a friends with a surplus of their favorite candy after they tell you they've ended their longterm relationship--and the person who sits with them until their pain is gone. You're the one who understands people's sorrows without experiencing what exactly they're going through.

I know this because I am one. I am the person who steers as far away from egocentrism as I possibly can. The one who takes the saddest person in a room and rides around town with them blaring the Jackson 5 and making them smile and forget their pain. I am the person who doesn't understand what makes me so approachable--the person who takes on others' burdens as my own until it takes me to the grave. I care too much. My eyes are big and my heart hopes; and I never expect the worst because that's just not how mama raised me. But I know for damn well I will never change it. I cry more tears than my body actually holds, and I will take none of them for granted, because they represent ridding my mind of hurt and hell

So my message to you, to me...to us...Is never change. We are rare and beautiful, and what we have to offer is desperately needed in today's world. Go out and continue to suspend your judgements. Show your love and show the world what it has to offer. And in the words of Sarah Kay, "I want [you] to look at the world through the underside of a glass-bottom boat, to look through a microscope at the galaxies that exist on the pinpoint of a human mind, because that's what my mom taught me."

Replace "daughter" with son, mother, brother, neighbor or any other noun that fits in your life, and let this poem speak volumes.
