  • Never became famous

    Dear younger self, you never became famous
    don’t look at me that way I’m not wandering around aimless.
    I know that’s what you wanted but trust me everyone there is really haunted.
    The glitz and the glam wasn’t what it was about
    I know how badly you just wanted to GET OUT!
    A life going nowhere everybody’s stuck
    Growing up here I need a little luck.
    It turns out “famous” wasn’t the way it just didn’t work out
    I’ll understand if you need to pout.
    Baby girl, look at the news
    Taking that path is how you lose.
    Life isn’t a race but still, you have to set the pace.
    To get what you want can sometimes be a jaunt
    But please hear me don’t worry
    We got out so what’s the hurry?
    A new life and a new last name
    Nothing is the same.
    There’s one more thing you need to hear.
    Please don’t fear.
    I’ve learned something new
    And it’s that I love you.

    • It’s hard to be funny through writing, but you did a great job. Those first two lines had me hooked! It takes a high level of wisdom and emotional flexibility to find peace when things don’t go as planned. Those last two lines are so warm and sweet! Thank you for sharing!

    • Unfortunately, I wasn’t trying to be funny at all. But thank you for your kind words.
