The Future Me

The future me
Is me NOW
I've been through so much in my past 
I can deal with it better NOW
I couldn't have back then 
Everything I took in during my past
Followed through into my future
The future me
Is me THEN
The child I was
Is the person I've become
The wrongs I did
I still make mistakes now
That baby that cried
I still cry now
The girl that hurts
I still hurt now
The people that are gone
Will still be gone
Nothing will change
Every part of me is the same
Me now
Me then
Will slowly become the FUTURE ME!!!
