Every 10 years, you have the opportunity to go back in time and have a conversation with your past self. This conversation can change the future. Write about it. [Illustration by Dancer, YWP]
My younger self spoke to me Trying to make me see I knew by this time I would be disappointed By how much I procrastinated
My younger self spoke to me Telling me what I forgot All my memories taken with a snapshot Maybe if I had tried harder I could have been a better photographer
My younger self spoke to me Reminding me of my dreams Which I let fall apart at the seams My masterpiece unwoven With all of my hopes left unspoken
My younger self spoke to me Encouraging me Asuring me Hoping for me
As my younger self spoke to me I was reminded of me Someone I forgot My dreams who I forgot As my younger self spoke to me
