To my younger self, a letter I write, In the whispers of dawn, in the hush of the night. Seize every chance, let no moment slide, Paint your days with courage, let dreams be your guide. Dance in the rain of countless tomorrows, Let joy be the balm that heals all your sorrows. Say "I love you" to hearts that hold you dear, For time flies swift; make every word clear. Capture the laughter, the light in your eyes, In photos and memories where the heart lies. And thank yourself, brave, for each battle you've won, Against shadows that dared to steal your sun. Resilience wrapped you, gave you wings to soar, Past echoes of bullies that knocked on your door. Your spirit unbroken, defiant and free, Is a testament now, to the strength you can be. So live without regret, let your passions ignite, Cherish the moments, burn brightly, shine bright. For the paths you have traveled, the triumphs untold, Make for the story you'll cherish when old.
