Dear Self...

A "letter" written to myself. I think everyone should do this sometime...

Dear Self,

Hope you're in good health.
I see you've lost weight, you can actually wear that Nintendo Belt.
You're smiling more often, yeah- that's good.
You're doing things that you thought you never would.
Doing good in school, got that associates degree,
Got a new girl that your sure you're gonna marry!
You're trying to make something outta this life,
That's nice, but why can't you take your own advice?
You're still feeling insecure,
Unsure.
Maybe it's cause life is moving at a blur.
You're making moves, but you hesitate to do it.
You're too strict on yourself, just flow like fluid.
I know you're trying to do good kid,
But take it step by step- no need to rush this.
You came from slitting wrist and crying every christmas,
To being a role model with the A Plus!
So why you still putting yourself down... hush.(sshh)
I think you're pushing too much...
Don't get overstressed and get out of touch,
Gentle strokes on life's canvas like a fine tipped brush.
You're feeling burnt out-
Tired from such a long fight,
But all that has helped you gain flight.
You're making your wrongs right,
It won't fall apart if you keep it tight.
You know where to set your sights.
Walk through life with your head up-
Cause if your always looking down you don't know what you're gonna run into-
You been through
So much pain and turbulence...
But you got it set, and you know you're your best bet.
If you fall again you set up your safety net,
So if you mess up don't regret.
Let yourself go-
No holds.
Your 20 sumfin years old,
Start going for the gold.
You already broke the mold...
Now go grab your dreams and put em in a chokehold.

Oh... P.S.
You're a great guy, so love yourself until death.
