(My future self) just wanted to say
the pain, one day, will fall away.
The deep sorrow that now fills your soul
Regrets, too many, have taken its toll.
(You’ll smile again)

(Present Self)
Relationships broken, like a match to a flame
looking around, with no one else to blame.
Empty promises so hollow, I wish had been kept
Chess pieces have been moved, and for now I am trapped.

(Future Self)
But, my future self interrupts once more
gently walks up to me, staring into my core.
An abundant life still awaits you; you shall see
Stand up; wipe your tears; listen to me.

(Us)
You had to be torn down, to build something new
One tiny step, one more breath, till your breakthrough.
