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

Hea...

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....

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...

You’re stronger than you give yourself credit for.

It’s not your fault what happened, don’t blame yourself....

You are beautiful, don’t let anyone tell you differently....

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...

Dear past me,

Guess what?

I finally feel free.

Yes, my friends aren’t the best,

But I can tell who to trust and who I left.

Dearest past me,

Yes we still yearn for life in stories,

And it this reality is still boring.

But when you see where we are now,

Everything had fallen and we can take a bow.

Dear Past Me,

I love me.

Finally....

You’ve got this....

it does get better....

your eyes are clear,

mine are blurred

your smile is bright

mine is fake

your ears hear music

mine hear swears

you taste the icing

i taste the tears

your heart is full

mine is shattered

your soul is beautiful

mine is…

mine is…

mine is…

i will go through all of this

so long as you have that

i will take all the bad

if you take all the good...
