To My Unborn Daughter:

I'm sixteen years old, which implies that I'm a stupid teenager
But I know I love you already
I know I mess up every time my heart beats
But always remember you weren't unwanted-shocking, but loved
You're beautiful, and you'll never be anything less
I haven't seen you yet, haven't felt your heart beat
But I know how much potential you already have
Don't listen to the demons following me around
Stick your tongue out and laugh at their miserable faces
That's what I do

I know that every parent-to-be wants a better life for their kids
And I know, if you're at all like me and my fathers
You'll blow off my warnings and want to learn by experience
But, my daughter, I'm going to warn you anyway

Boys will be stupid, that I can guarantee without a doubt
Girls can be mean and like to feel like they're the best-but that doesn't mean they are
Disobeying your parents can be bad, but can be good for you
Otherwise, you'll never learn consequence
Lying is bad, because trust me, I'll find out
I'm a good liar when I want to be, and I'll see through yours

No matter what my mood is, no matter what I say
Or don't say
I love you, I'll always love you
And no matter what you do, I'll still love you
You're stuck with me, daughter
Just know I'm here for you.
