To My Past Self

To my past self

who didn’t know how to love herself.


Life is beautiful when we

live

and don’t only survive,

and when we smile.


We had learnt how to love

everything in life.


We had found a hobby,

which slowly became an obsession fastly,

but a healthy

one,and it make us happily.


Little things are beautiful,

but only after we learnt how to love.


I healed us,

even if it was hard.

I did it for us...

Dear Me

Hello, Terry I just want you to know,


That the hate you feel will grow weak from what you have lived through,

You didn’t know it then but there’s always been a fire in you and,

The tragic stuff they did to you only fanned it till it grew and grew,

Burning away the memories of the truth you tried to keep eschew,

You thought you was lost and would only ever feel the pain,

As it festered and crept i...

To my past self


His words rang true

For far too long

You held it inside

Said, “Nothing’s wrong”


Your smile dimmed

Your opinions quieted

The girl who loved all

Then, internally rioted


As time goes on

People will poke and prod

They will see the girl

Whose words felt flawed


They will want to hear

What you have to say

You’re smart, not dumb

Girl, your words have sway


Of course, it’s true

My Past Self

Marx,


Hey. Everything is going to be okay.

I know. I know you’re trying.

Some people need a little more time.

There’s nothing wrong with you.


I’m sorry for how poorly I treated you.

You didn’t deserve to be put through that.

You persevered.



Now Marx. Listen to me.

Something is going to happen that will change your mind for years to come.

Kids make mistakes.

Yeah, you definitely knew better....

To My Past Self.

If you saw me right now, would you be disappointed or proud?


If you knew what made me who I am, would you avoid the future?


Would you claw your way out of your skin, or would you make the same mistakes I did?


I'm sorry for what we are.


I'm sorry for what we've done.


We're deteriorating, and I ask just that you forgive me.


Forgive me for growing these horns.


Forgive me for the way my skin tu...

Dear little me

Dear little me,

I’m finding it harder and harder to see

if there’s light at the end of the tunnel

or if there’s somebody waiting for me


Dear little me,

I’m finding it harder and harder to breathe

School keeps getting harder but at the top is where they expect me to be


Dear little me,

I’m finding it harder and harder to seem

as though I’m happy and healthy and fine when all I want to do is leav...
