Old Letter for the Past

I found it on the back of my closet

Old Letter for the Past

To my past I wrote a letter that I was supposed to deliver but never did.

To my past, letters and notes and songs were written but never published or heard anywhere.

To my past I dedicated my spirit, soul and body to the point that all my thoughts and energy was directed to that, and until I solved the past I wasn't going to move on.

But, that wasn't the case.

Nothing I did or said after changed the way it happened.

To my future self I wrote warnings and promises that she was supposed to keep but I just couldn't.

To my past self, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I can't travel back in time and save you from all the things that did you wrong before and that will do you wrong later.

To my future self, please don't kill the little hope that keeps us going.

I got tired of secrets and lies that I dared to say and write to myself.

To my past, not everything is bad but I don't dare to say that the good always came through.

The good were the breaks that I finally could take before it hit me again that something bad was going to happen.

To my yesterday, I was so much fun!

To my tomorrow, I hope it's better than today.

Poetry is my only escape. I feel at home when I write, whenever I put my pencil down, it feels like something got taken from me. I just want to live this life with Art.
