Dear past self,
Are you hiding away from everyone else?
Or are you staring at me falling deep and getting no help?
Do you still remember when we used to be together?
We were carried by the wind like a feather
But we never touched the ground
Because we knew we could fly miles if we stayed around

Do you remember when we would laugh our lungs out?
Until my parents couldn't take no more and they would shout
But we felt so free and so alive
Because we were so young
And dreams didn't seem to hide
Away from us

But look at me now
I don't know what peace is anymore
I don't know what I'm here for
I feel so lost and afraid
I dont know if I should end my pain or wait
Because that feather has touched the ground
And I'm lost in this forest now
And I wonder why you left me alone
Even though we share the same bone
That's broken and needs fixing
That's broken and trying to find a new beginning

I know you can't come back
But I just wanna thank you for being my past
Because the good memories will always be in my head
And maybe that's what's gonna get me out of this bed
Thank you past self
And I hope one day we can meet each other again
