Dear Current Me


Dear Current Me,

Sometimes weaks blend into days,

Sometimes life seems like a maze,

And I’m blind with no way out,

So I dig, I climb, I shout.

 

I turn without direction,

I’m wasted, without affection,

No one ever stays around,

But I’m stuck, chained to the ground.

 

And I imagine that I am free,

Soaring high above the sea,

Across mountains that graze the sky,

Through deserts, arid and dry.

 

But I’m brought back to this maze,

Where weaks blend into days.

And I promise, I will get out,

I’ll break free without a doubt.

 

You’re drowning, gasping for air,

But you’ll survive, I swear.

 

From,

Current Me
