POEM STARTER

To my past self

Write a poem addressed to your past self

To My Past Self

To my past self,

It’s going to be okay.

It’s hard, I know,

But you’ll make it another day.


Dear twelve year old me,

The suffocation releases.

The abysmal is more bearable,

Even if it never ceases.


I get that it hurts,

I know that it’s tough,

Know how you cry at night,

and have had enough


But I’ll be here,

and no, you’re not broken

Though when I was your age,

it was never spoken


You’re furious, rage-filled,

Justifiably so.

But don’t hold petty grudges,

From so long ago


It’s fine to care,

To display your emotions.

But I’m so very sorry,

You can’t share your devotions.


Dear younger me,

I don’t envy you.

But trust when I say,

You make it through.
