To My Younger Self
When dawn’s bright light reveals your dreams with endless scope,
Embrace each day with courage, let your heart find hope.
The path ahead may test you, challenge all your might,
But stand with strength and honor, let your spirit light.

In times of doubt and sorrow, when your strength...

Yet many sad times 
Many tears we ...

To Be Much Younger Than I Am
If I could be much younger than I am, 
with my time in life as yet too brief
to give me evidence and cause
to change my views.
If views I held.
I would know such simple ways to right the world
and all the people and injustice in it.
I’d...

Premium Member Dear Younger Me
Dear younger me,
There are some things that I would say
to help you out along the way:
mistakes I’ve made and deep regrets,
things I would change you’ve not seen yet.

Dear older me,
All that seems nice,
but let’s hold back on that advice.
It may be true,
but I’m not sure...

The Older Woman and the Younger Man
The older woman
is secretly defiant
loud in her riot
but quite in her thoughts

The older women
does more, yet she shouldn't
to make you a servant
but not intently...she thought

The older woman
is a brat and a tyrant!
but not to show side rants
just to you, she will talk

The older woman
is still...

Premium Member Those Younger Days
I used to be quite a character 
Back in those days when I was young
When hanging out with all my friends
We used to have so much fun
Staying up all night 
Until we would suddenly see the sun
Oh man I really miss those younger days

Maybe gathering...

To My Younger Self
If I were to write to my sixteen-year self
And pass on sagacious advice,
The first thing I’d say is to worry much less,
For stressing out comes with a price.

And problems when young hardly count much at all – 
I would cry for a slight or a...

90 Years Younger
As my old eyes search for the setting sun,
My mind is at work,
Mending the million fragmented memories.
The long arm of my mind,
Retrieves the first dusty diary,
from the tallest of shelves.
Now ninety years have passed,
My  weary  body  struggling  to  stand ...

Premium Member If Only I Was Younger
If only I was younger, I know where I'd want to be
To be with someone special, who wants to be with me
We'd grow into our tomorrows sharing each others joy
Children, one two three, two girls and a boy

We'd write about many things, live as true...

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...

The Younger Me
I'm searching for the younger me,
Together we'll survive.
The person that I used to be
Has ruined all my life.

I wish she helped me understand
What's hidden in the lies,
What demon forced her to pretend
And play a lover twice.

I wish she had a chance to know
One story of...

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...

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...
