I stepped into the portal
To meet my younger self;
I smiled and watched her
All happy and giggling about.
Then I saw it-
The moment that would change everything.
I went to lunge for her
To stop and warn her
Of all the pain and lies
That would come;
But then I thought
Of who I am today,
Where would I be
Without all my scars
And heartbreaks?
I know one thing:
I wouldn't be me.
So, instead of stopping her,
I give her a squeeze and
I tell her everything will be ok,
Because you know what?
It is.
