POEM STARTER
To my past self
Write a poem addressed to your past self
to my past self
dear donnie,
was the friendship with matt and amy nice
while it lasted?
i really hope it lasts as long as it can.
you really aren’t that different from me,
the only difference
is that you were cheerier
and felt more at home with them.
oh, don’t worry,
your writing skills get better in the future!
there will be many to support you
once those two are out of your reach…
so, please, cherish matt and amy
while they’ll still talk to you.
i didn’t, and look at me now.
a depressed teenager.
you’re so lucky to have those two.
i know that topic’s getting repetitive,
but those two were quite literally what my life revolved around.
the only reason i haven’t stopped writing
is because amy loved whenever i wrote.
try to share your writings with her, okay?
she’ll love to read them!
and matt…
just let him be himself.
even the weirdest people can make you sad once they’re gone if they’re your best friend.
try to spend a lot of time with j as well,
i am not far enough in the future
to know if she’ll disappear along with them.
please, don’t let the little things fade.
your future self,
chiyo.
