wish we could 
                embrace
                       saying this
                                         yet 
            crossing time barrier 
                                     is still beyond me
            sending my words
as 
           whispers in the wind

                                          look back
                                                        master 
                                    art of self-love 
                           you deserve it
          beyond anyone else
mistakes
                  are typical for your age
                                                 watch, learn
                                                               & proceed
Realize  
     parents commit sins 
                                as well
                                      yet no harm
chastise
         since they care
                      fear arises 
                                world is
                                          hellish place
you still 
      too naïve 
            & trustworthy.

Express 
     your uneasiness 
           with words
                 you have 
                      valid opinions
                           but stop... overthinking? 

                            too much analysis
                  no one is judging 
        your words 
or 
         actions.

Old age 
                    isn't your goal
                                             cherish 
                                                         simple life  
winter dance 
                     in the snow
                                    camp 
                                          under the skies
