Dear Me,
-Younger Me
-Future Me
I am talking to you both as Present Me
Presently,
I have apparently
Been paired with the presence of clarity
It says to me:
“That eventually,
we will all reconvene posthumously
But for the time that be,
For the best of Me,
We must all exist, separately
To dwell on either entity
Is to be detached from reality”
And so you see:
Farewell from Me
Sincerely,
A soon to be Former Me

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

I really loved the message here and also your use of rhyme. 😍 Well done!
My head is spinning, but I love it. I am guilty of both living in the past and wishing away my present for want of a better future. Thank you for the reminder to live in the present. Great piece.
