To the Younger Me
Hey you sweet and frightened little girl
Lift up your eyes and look at me
I know, I know exactly how you do feel
I am you, you are me; and for this I shall tell you some words of secrecy
Pray, be not so downcast
The bad days do never last
Someday, what you do see as being hell, will be of the past
So pray, to pain and hurt and humiliation, do not cling on so fast
Worry not if nobody does ever see you
Someday your wonder worth shall come out
Then, everyone shall praise you
So please, rub off from your face, that scary pout
Life does not be so hard
Of course, you should be cautious,
You are after all, a being so precious
But mind you, life shall be for you, a glorious reward
Instead of focusing on trying to find love among those who do roam the Earth
Pray, build up your faith
Love does be of several forms
One of them does come from the divine realms
Someday, you shall come to know of what I do mean
Then, you shall regret for having wasted away your days
Then, you shall care not whether you are sixty or sixteen
For life does be not true, mind what the holy book says
Love rather, those who do be there for you
Love your family, your closed ones, those who do battle for you
Serve them, instead of always being angry
Reward them, instead of always moping around, feeling always so sorry
Mind not if you do dream too much
Someday, your dreams you will reach
Someday, to the world you shall teach
That dreams do come true, that the secret lies in knowing how to search!
Care a bit more about your studies
Care for them as to the future, they do hold the keys
I know you do realize not, for blinded you are in the false
I know, worn out you are, in trying to find your own voice!
But hey, listen, life shall be beautiful
Someday, it shall sing for you, a melody
Someday, it shall end, all dutiful
So please, care not to be so moody!
