Aidan, There are a few things I wish you had known And in lesson from which you'd have grown A lot sooner - The twist of time left your path entwined In more vice than virtue, I really need you to see that. Altruistic aims, aren't always mutual gains Only act on impulse if your intentions are true - And only for those who'd do the same for you. Unbridled fury does not buy you respect, Or victory - things can always be approached better. Remain yourself, but keep logic intact. You needn't be afraid of vulnerable thoughts. Collect yourself outwardly. The battle you have fought Is not one that others can see. Caution -  it may feel like You're battling me. As you traverse the plane of your mind, You may find that what you once basked in Is now a question of What could have been Choose your memories carefully in which Your creativity is hugely dependent on Don't create what you can't feel - Delve, But don't drown in the ethereal. Try not to lose yourself to What others think of you Or your writing, your music, your views I know this stuff's hard, but I hope that you try. Anyways. Take care of  yourself. Tell mom I said hi. - Aidan
