To My Old Self
Alone, that is how I felt
How we felt.
As I look back and realize
You were never alone, you
Had your thoughts, your dreams, and your goals.
They scared you. They broke you, they broke us.
Thinking ourselves into a hole, now that I no
Longer stand there in
The loneliness of my own brain,
In the dark, forgotten parts.
I hope you understand, and that you do listen,
And remind yourself.
That your thoughts control you, but you
Are the one that creates those thoughts.
You are the one that will
Accomplish, you are the one
That will not fear.
Please
Love and
Understand that the
Loneliness you fear,
Made you, reappear
And sincere.
