Poem: A Letter To The Girl I Used To Be


Dear me,

This is a letter to the girl I used to be.

 

Dear me,

There are some things that you should know,

It’s not my intention to embarass or to shame you.

 

What’s inside the rear view mirror,

Is closer than it appears.

 

We do the best that we know how,

With what we have been given.

 

And the difference between you and I,

Is I’ve been given time,

In time you’ll see.

 

Dear me,

This is a letter to the girl I used to be.

 

Some things are not as simple as we said,

Remember when we thought there were,

A handful of some magic words to pray a guarantee,

And a down payment on a mansion.

 

Remember all the rules we made,

About the body and the blood,

The hoops  we made them jump through,

Though he offers it to everyone.

I’m sorry!
