If I Could Know What I Know Now, Way Back When
Oh, what a different life I would have led……..or would I?
Time travel has been invented
I’ll head back all those years,
A message to my teenage self
That’ll dispel all her greatest fears.
***
Girl you’ve got this, don’t ever doubt
You are exactly as you need to be,
Life is going to be tough and rough
But you soldier your way free.
***
Every lesson you chose to learn
Will come to fruition, you’ll see,
You’ll meet the necessary Souls
That will teach you, sweet pea.
***
You’ve no need to worry or stress
No matter how hard it will get,
You are strong enough honey
You’ll win, you’ll lose, but don’t fret.
***
Every heartbreak and betrayal
Will give you the strength you need,
Watch people, hang back awhile
You’ll meet those who’ll deceive.
***
When the going does get tough
Just pause and hang on tight,
The life tools you need the most
Will turn up to make things right.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
