poem(s) to my younger self



I don’t write to you often

I don’t really like talking to you


Often,

Writers write to you softly

Warmly

With flowers


But you’re not even worth the rain

And,

Talking to a grave gets awkward

Especially since

I put you there



pt 2

When you learn to love yourself later in life

And there’s good reason you couldn’t before

What do you do with the you you hated?


that’s just not something writing can cure.
