Dear future me,
...
Don't look back
at the web of mistakes,
the long, empty nights
and comatose days
...
Don't look back
at the heartbreak,
the fractures of the skin,
the scars painting your tissue
...
Don't look back
at the tears shed,
the silent screams,
the fire raging within
...
Don't look back
at the girl,
alone and broken
wandering lifeless
...
You are a stranger no more
for the path ahead
is paved with dreams
...
Sincerely,
You
