Fix yourself
I
Was Startled just by the sound of him
Was Disgusted just by the sight of him
He
Was Everything I would never want to be.
Was way too damaged beyond any repair.
I
Am slightly broken too but not near broken as him
Paused, glanced and saw he looked a lot like me
He
Stared glaringly and sneered at me
Yanked angrily and yelled at me: 'Fix Yourself Now!'
I
Panicked, flinched and nodded in fright
Looked in terror and saw in fact, He was me! ****!
He
Offered a hand to help me up as he shot me a sad smile
Looked at me with remorse, as he gently said:
Fix yourself now that you can be fixed.
Fix yourself now before you are too broken.
Fix yourself now before you **** yourself.
I still get this feeling of doom closing up on me,
And this vision of my older self warning me,
I think he needs to have a word with me.
Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once wrote, “You could be good today. But instead, you choose tomorrow.”
