Oh Younger Self

Oh Younger Self!

Don’t be behind at saying what you want, 
Just because you never did have the font, 
Regression exists in us if we fail to specify, 
Objectifying later, our questions to quantify.

Believe only in the people you trust and obey, 
Don’t quantify because you’re in the minority, 
Remember what you’ve got, media and friends, 
Treasure your relationships to make your own ends. 

Just be short-sighted, only aware of the now, 
Don’t aspire to be godly or sickeningly high-brow, 
Crimp what you like but is wrong multitudinary, 
And don’t equate true morality with the binary.

Exclude yourself to discuss your mind and trueness,
Freshness is in people who flow with goodness,  
Be rejected, make do and accept low facilities, 
Happiness is in your real desires and proclivities.
