Dear Future or Younger Self

March 1, 2016

You are not who you were yesterday

You're not even who you are right now is what I say

Just live in the the moment because here is where you should stay.

This life is temporary

So stop all the worries, it's unnecessary

You can't change the past, why would you want to?

It made you better cause you learned what not to do.

You're not meant to always get things right

You're gonna mess up, today, tomorrow, and maybe tonight

That doesn't make you a bad person, I'm just tryna give you some insight

Life is about obstacles, struggles, and putting up a fight.

Everyone isn't perfect and neither are you

It's not a bad thing, it's just true.

Being yourself is all you ever knew

So why change now, you're tryna impress who?

Just love yourself and others will do the same

Give them something to respect other than your name.

What you feel shouldn't cause you to be ashamed

But wanting to be like others is so lame.

Being like them, causes you to follow

Which is a promise that's hollow

Because no one knows where they're going

and causing your life to be drastically slowing.

All I'm saying is love who god made you to be

He isn't disappointed in what he sees.

He sent people to help you here on earth

So just appreciate the life he gave you from your very birth.
