Dear Self


Dear self, start today with a smile.

I know you've been stressed lately,

And you wish to live back your lifestyle.

I know you are on the verge of becoming crazy,

But pull yourself together cause you're not yet eighty.


Dear self, raise yourself high.

I know you're not confident,

And you wish to become some other guy.

I know you feel incompetent,

But don't be conscious of the public eye.


Dear self, express your thoughts out loud.

I know you feel scared,

And you wish to be hidden in the crowd.

I know you think you're being snared,

But you are unique, be proud.


Dear self, do what you wanted to do.

I know everyone expects from you,

And you wish to just screw.

I know you just want to escape to Timbuktu

But don't be, you can break through.


Dear self, do your best and keep trying.

I know you want to give up,

And you wish to be hiding.

I know you are about to blowup,

But you just have to pray and keep fighting.


Dear self, do not have regrets.

I know you think 'what if' sometimes,

And you wish to have resets.

I know you want to enjoy the old times,

But then and now are different, more or less.


Dear self, trust yourself and think you're capable.

I know you've experienced failures

And you ask "Why is it impossible?"

I know you have cried because of the pressure,

But remember God and believe that the impossible will truly be possible.
