Dear Younger Me

Dear younger me,

Where should I start?

Should I draw a chart,

To keep good and bad decisions apart?


Dear younger me,

I would like to tell you everything;

The things I do in the morning

And my realizations in the evening.


Dear younger me,

I want you to be aware

Of the pain that you should bear

And the love and laughter that you should share.


Dear younger me,

I apologize for the painful memories,

The struggles and complexities

And the regrets for possibilities.


Dear younger me,

I wonder if things will be different

If I dive into a different current

Will there be a lesser pain sent?


Dear younger me,

Should I try changing the choices you'll make?

Give another recipe to bake

Or just follow how the water flows in the lake?


Dear younger me,

I wish it was a smoother ride

All the scars I couldn't hide

I should've avoided the darker side.


Dear younger me,

If I knew what I know now,

If I correct my mistakes now,

Would it make a difference somehow?
