Dear Younger Me

Growing up brings some drastic change makes it hard to breathe like a cracked rib cage life becomes filled with lasting pains everything seems vague at this stage people become complex not even Patrick Jane can read them you think growing up means more freedom but it’s quite the opposite more responsibilities and it’s pretty hard to get rid of old habits and passed old vision of things problems pile up and you’re given no time to think You're probably having problems with bae just hit pause for some days, take a little break ignore the "I should've's/she should've's" games just try to work it out no matter whose fault it is better days are yet to come, just be optimistic Don't do anything stupid, please wait just wait, you've waited enough it's so close, please don't give up I know how you feel, it's too much you probably think this is nonsense but it's going to be fine, I promise 11/1/2015 ELIS ARTIS For the contest, Any Poem, sponsor, Broken Wings

We do try to encourage our younger ones with advice which has been gained through the years; we would prefer it were they not to repeat the same mistakes which we made! ~ A good poem with sense; well presented. gl in the contest. // paul
