A note to younger self.

If not now, then when?

I have watched you grow.

I have felt your woes.

I have seen your cries,

And also the dimples on the side.

The challenges you posed,

Also, the ones you didn’t show.

I have witnessed your struggles with shortcomings,

Hidden under the pretense of know-it-all.

The never ending battles of Me vs. World.

Some you won and some you lost.

I have seen your body bloom,

Also, the inner child, who resisted growth.

I have seen your confusions, constant hops,

From left to right and right to wrong.

All in all, I write to the inner child.

A note, to tell.

I have felt and watched you always.

Hence, never feel ignored.
