Dear Past

Dear Past Beloved,
The me of old
I'm writing, urging, don't give in
Life does have its ups and downs
Some you lose and some you win

I write to tell you there is hope
As you teeter by your grave
Focus on the light ahead
That your own soul you might save

I write to you, the younger me
Innocent of recent pains
Don't seek out the fleeting pleasures
Search for longer lasting gains

I write to you and hope that you
Won't make the choices that I made
That you will never have to live
With the choking price I've paid.

Dear Past

Dear Me, If you are reading this pat yourself on the back. You have yet to survive another year, but at least you made it past this one.

Mirror, Mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall, will this vanity, prevail or fall. Will insecurities crumble away, will confidence be here to stay. Will all the wrongs turn into rights, will all the dark turn into light.

Hopeless Humility

Contains Swearing. Fuck this generic world. You actually have no clue. The ugly human characteristic That removes you from the truth. For when they say to take a step back. I take more than two.

I'd Like To Think.

I'd like to think I'm nice,. People have said so once or twice,. I'd like to think I'm fair,. What I have to offer I'm happy to share,. I'd like to think I'm honest and true,.

Now And Then...

Occasionally, my mouth, she runs off and ends up in the gutter, with egg on her face. At her age, she really should know better. But, I guess that's life. We live And we learn, We twist And we turn.

Mirror Mirror

#household challenge Mirror mirror in the hall, Do u think of me at all. When I peer so close, so near; An eyeball there, a nostril here. Mirror mirror reflecting me, All my blemishes do you see.

I don't know if its helped but I sense some positivity out of it. Stay focused on that light , life throws a lot at us, and if I remember, a lot your way, but we must learn from it as you have clearly said so eloquently. πŸ’š

@eddie12309 thank you for the analysis :) I think unfortunately that the last stanza is the truest reflection of where I am today though
