A Letter To My Future Self Poem by Haala Marikar

A Letter To My Future Self

Rating: 5.0


Dearest me of 2025, maybe,
Or perhaps I shouldn't have addressed you as 'me'?
We are distant, I know; myself and you,
We are no longer one, but two.

In fact, that is why I am writing to you,
To remind you of all we held true,
To have a little of my childhood self remain-
I do not want our resolutions to have been made in vain.

Growing up is inevitable- of that, I'm aware,
I just don't want to have you no longer care
About me, about the idea of an eternal 'we',
Much love,
From the little girl you've nearly ceased to be.

A brilliant way, as a layperson to view the life. You see the difference between the person just now and the person years later. Lord Buddha saw this difference from one chiththakshana to the next, only some millionth of a moment away. That is why he discoursed that what our eyes catch is only a mirage. Wonderful to note how you take it. Thanks for sharing.
