Dear Self

Dear self

When everybody has forgotten about you,

Friends and family have forsaken you,

When no one is there by your side,

When you feel you have lost your everything,

And you feel that all hope is gone.

Do not be afraid,

Do not fear the change,

Do not hide your imperfections,

Don't be ashamed of yourself,

For I know your flaws and perfections.

Find me within you and,

Lean on me for hope,

Cling on me for strength,

Call on me when you feel heavy and burdened,

Cry to me and I will be your shoulder.

I will be there to share your pain and sorrow,

Your joy and happy moments shall be mine,

I will follow you wherever you go,

I will be there to take every step with you,

I promise to always be the one thing that never leaves.
