Poem on A letter to self
YouTube channel link ~ Harshita Solanki
Dear
self
Do
you remember when you were five?
Got
lost in the streets, you were so naïve.
But
yesterday you were lost in your thoughts,
It
was hard to pull you out, though you fought.
Remember
when you were seven?
You
went to a good school for the first time,
How
easy it became for you to recite rhymes.
But
yesterday you only spoke about how lost you feel,
And
how badly you want to heal.
How
confidently you sang on stage when you were ten,
How
eagerly you wanted to sing the song again.
But
yesterday you only sang one sad song,
That
10 year old wouldn’t want to sing along.
You
were catcalled at the age of fifteen,
But
how normal it became to people, such things happen to a teen.
You
stood for yourself and told everyone it was wrong,
But
yesterday you felt ashamed of it after so long.
You
were body shamed in high-school,
Your
heart hurt but you acted too cool.
Like it never mattered to you,
The shoulders you could cry on were less than
few.
Dear
self, I ask, How are you?
Because
we barely talk and that’s rude.
Take
care of yourself first,
Might be hard but gather some guts.
Guts
to stand up for yourself when you thought you failed.
Dear
self,
You
are very strong,
If
you have reached here, you have proved people wrong.
