I would have seen a different me !!

Had I looked back at my old self                                              
I would have seen a different me
An introvert sitting quietly
Whilst dreaming away to glory
So conscious of the world views
Never being able to give back hurtful dues
Confidence never near you
Having friends just a few
Poems in hidden diaries
Scared of letting anybody inside my world of fairies
Awaiting some magic to change life’s highway
Not knowing it was only ME who could do it any day
Had I looked back
I would have seen a different me
Would have taught her to just let go, be free!!





P.S. This post is written for -100 Words on Saturday hosted by Write Tribe. The prompt is ‘Had I looked back

  10. I can relate, but slightly differently. I was awkward and angry growing up! But, I would told myself the exact same words - "just let go, be free!!"

    beautifully done
