What would I say to my younger self?

Having ‘that’ chat is never easy at the best of times

So I write this poem to the younger me, at a time I thought I was caged up as I aimed to be free.

I looked to God, but never believed he was there

I seeked for parental guidance, but that slightly waned

And there are the outsiders, who caused more of a verbal stain.

I would have said ‘relax’, cry if you want and try to be kind to you

Go to the gym and focus on a task, 

Or sit down, read a positive book or, learn something to embrace an enhance.

Don’t put your eggs in one basket 

Try to balance the tide you are facing,

And if you fall down, don’t beat yourself up..

There’s enough people giving that task a go

Those people aren’t relevance in your life… so therefore, don’t go fast, nor go slow.

Be at peace with you and God

Your looks shall only last for so long,

You look to the skies for calmness and relaxation

Leave your faith with a higher power, arid any trepidation.
