"Hey me, how you doing,"
hey future me, I'm feeling clueless,
using less of my time, and feeling a bit useless
"Well, I wish I could tell you that it all gets better,
But even in the successes you and I will have
You're still stuck on hoping you've done enough"
that kind of *****, cos yesterday I was just telling our
past self, we still haven't done enough
and I'm feeling really down, but always trying to keep up
in playing this bluff
"Really life is just a constant game of us playing cards,
My advice to you; put down the cards, and learn to play chess"
sorry, that statement doesn't make any sense,
and above all, it probably went over my head
"Life is about making the right moves,
Lining your goals, and trying to think way ahead"
highly unlikely; let's not pretend
"Hence the word, trying;
You won't get it right all of the time.
But all of the time we have, is another reason to just try,
And every mistake is a lesson we can't ignore or never mind
For the never in our mind, is the reason to all of our insights
being so blind"
can you show me these lessons,
"No, because they wouldn't be the lessons
You'd hold onto, without any of the experience
As the best teacher is experience; still the hardest teacher,
But she'd treasure a good listener, and treat you so precious
My lessons to share, would be to stay brave, stay who you are,
And speak all of your truths of what has hurt/made who you are,
As all of those daily confessions
hey future self,
"Yes"
you really ****, because you always have to be so right,
"And me being right,
Is to show how to be right with our life"
sigh!
