I wonder what 17 year old me would think.
Would she be happy with me?
She got everything she wanted from life.
I’m not happy with me.
I think a younger me would admire the person I have become but she wouldn’t know how it feels just how it looks.
I pour out my cup and complain it’s empty.
Nothing went how 17 year old me intended,
but does it matter if I ended up at the same destination?
I guess not.
I should be satisfied with this life
that I molded and shaped with my own hands.
Then why am I not?
