Listen up young man
with that lopsided grin
tighten that upper lip
point up that chin
I know life can get tough
after unrequited love
but remember there's a plan
coming from above
when push comes to shove
dig down deep
see what's creepin underneath
attached to your seat
is a belt
undo it
drive that car into a tree
if that's who you want to be
then so be it
but that's not how I see it
I keep dreamin
seeing you happily married
with kids
on vacation skiing
if that's what you want
and it's in your heart
then believe it
cuz believe me
I've lived long enough to see it
didn't you dream it?
yes of course
so have faith and courage
that'll keep you on course
your love will find you
but first you must discover
what it takes to be you
or the me
that you so aspire to be
can't you see
from who this letter is coming
your future you
the one you've always dreamed to be
I came true
and this letter I write
is stamped with love
a kiss on the cheek
words cannot speak
how proud I am to be
the you you've always wanted
I bet you can't wait to see
until that time
find patience diligently
stay true to your friends
your family
and be happy

Sincerely,
The Future Me

It was a general dislike
I didn't want to say it or see it
I think about it cuz it's important to me
now a days I think my head is clearing
I remember the fun things
all the silly games
now when I think about it
I can't help but say
it doesn't hurt as bad
gonna be a good day today

how does this read to you
when you see these letters
and string them together with glue
started out as floating letters
like alphabet soup
now it has phrases
that ring a bit true
i bet you don't have a clue
what i'm trying to say
and if you do
that's cuz I gave it away
i printed it up
hits the newsstands today
but you'll just buy it
and throw it away

they play the same ****
same ****
same crowd
same people
like the same songs
why do they listen
and play these things
even the people
who think they are different
are just doing the same thing
projecting
ideas and feelings
portrayed in a different way
at the surface it's all the same
look at it now
tighten your frames
how can you explain
the human being maintain
what goes in our brains
that makes us behave
such a way?

Just need some company
in due time
I want to feel aligned
in peace
not maligned
with a person who
I so dearly trust
that I absolutely must
respect and cherish
more than much
more than me
she's my destiny

whom I cannot
without a doubt
anxiously
wait to meet

My dreams keep multiplying
years go by
I keep crying
never stop trying
to achieve what means
everything
to me

They can never take that away
my passion can break
a giant bridge
like a wooden rake
over my knee
trying hard
is the only way I'm pleased
I will never cease
what I feel inside
I cannot write
cannot say
not enough time
not enough paper
not enough ink
to give you an idea
of how I do this thing

I'm going to be blessed
I'm going to be honored
given respect
a crown of jewels
around my neck
I'm blessed
to feel so strong
so passionate
determined
to get respect
got ****
I love this ****

I want to enjoy
this life
so I write
to get my mind
off things
that cause strife
harm done
all foul
I dismiss those
I find foul
and keep traveling down
the open road
going hard
loving life
mile after mile
