dear little me
you'll never stop failing
and you'll start taking things seriously
you'll lose your meaning and your goal
many times over

but oh my gods
we've always been stubborn, haven't we?
rebuilding ourselves
and our wings
and our dreams
till we've come back to the first design
the thing we never took seriously
not then
but now

that wishful thought
or that idea kept to the side
that "if i do this then maybe but"
we took a long path
just to return to the beginning
but i'm ready this time

you'll be ready

FINALLY SEEING
FINALLY BELIEVING
STOPPED GRIEVING
STARTED WEAVING

FINALLY TRUSTING
FINALLY PERCEIVING
STOPPED DECEIVING
STARTED ACHIEVING

FINALLY LISTENING
FINALLY SELF BELIEVING
STOPPED RELIEVING
STARTED SEEDING

If I had to do it all again...
Is there anything I'd change?
Would I climb mount Everest?
Invest in the stock exchange?

Would I work harder at school?
Avoid who broke my heart?
Is there anything I'd change...
If I could go back to the start?

I may have not always won...
Or done everything I should.
But would I do it all again...
If I had the chance or could?

My answer is a simple one...
And it's honest and true.
The answer is no I wouldn't...
Because everything led to you!
My poem was lovingly made into a 'Me to You Bear' video:

Sometimes
Falling down
everything
Going wrong
Breaking up
Getting rejected
Getting ignored
Feeling it's the end
Of life!

And taking
a step backwards
Gives a new perspective
Of what I need
and what I deserve!

After shattering
into pieces
I will take
piece by piece
To fix myself
Pieces valuable
Pieces to be removed
To fresh start
all over again.
Introspect: Change is constant but which change would come when and how it should change is what is required.

"Permanently delete"

No one ever
wants to
look through
"Trash"

Will the hurdles be high?
Are the footpaths steep?
Will the days be long?
and cause me to weep?

Will you be there too?
Will you have time for me?
Will you let me down
and return by degrees?

Will I fill my shoes?
Can I act my age?
Will I brave the crowds?
Can I seize the day?

The answer is Yes
it has always been so
so get off your ****
it's now time to go.
'Get off your ****' is London's version of 'Carpe Diem'.
