Dear Future Me 1


 

Dear future me,

Your mind so bright

Your heart so fragile and light

I have hopes for you

Oh future me,

And so many do

So many like you

 

Dear future me,

Your mind crashing slowly

Your smile breaking

Your words used for the taking

Breath and stay hopeful

And one day we’d be grateful

Oh stay faithful,

 

Dear future me,

There were things I shouldn’t have said

Till I was dead

And now I regret those things I’ve said,

 

Dear future me,

I know you’re in pain

Your heart broken,

cold as ice

Funny how we once thought

The world was nice

 

LIES! Funny how time flies

The world so cruel

Destructive as it DIES!


 

Dear future me,

I’m sorry I did this to you

You never deserved this

I love you
