The Gray Dots

I'm much happier these days
I've stopped being mean to myself
But still, even after so many months,
The gray dots don't go away

They stare at me through my skin
And remind me of what I was like
I don't let them bother me much,
But occasionally I notice the dots again
And I remember how awful I was to myself

I'm really sorry, Erica from the past

I wish I could go back in time
And give past me a hug
And tell her:
"Please, put the pencil down. It's not worth it.
I promise, everything will be alright eventually."
