If I could talk to myself
3 years ago
I'd look to her eyes
All scared and alone
I'd take her hands
I'd calmly say
It'll all be okay
Don't be afraid
For it will get better
Just give it time
And don't waste yours
The way I wasted mine

The author's comments:
I woke up one morning thinking about myself 3 years ago to who I am now. And I wished that I could go back in time and help her. And thus, this poem was born!
