What would life be if I was older?
I'd probably be taller and smarter
I wish I knew myself ten years later
Stuck in the present
Pending on the future
Did I find adventure?
It seems impossible
Taking caution down this unknown path
Hoping it would lead to somewhere good
What did I sign myself up for?
Not like those fortunate souls
Who dream out loud
I can't see mine anymore
My dream is unconscious
Dead, but not quite
Will I settle for second best?
Will I be happy?
It seems incapable
Handing out my heart like a flyer
Hoping not to be crumbled and tossed away
Will I ever find love?
Who would love me?
It seems insolvable
Am I heading for a cliff?
My future self beams down
she says softly,
"hush my child,
It will get better
But be prepared for rejections and heartbreaks,
All the things to make you stronger,
I promise."
