To Me at 14

Dear me at 14, you are quiet dumb
But you are right about everything.

Yes, the world is bright with poetry.
Yes, the people that people it are dull.
Yes, the road is long but filled with flowers
That turn to you when you look at them;
That痴 why you should walk with eyes open,
Not just at the sky but the world at large.

Yes, love is the only thing that痴 worth
Fighting for. Everything else
Is background noise. Yes, music is
The closest we値l get to hearing God.
And God has so much, too much to say
But we値l only hear it through notes and chords
Which is enough. Yes, life is rife
With sadness. Disappointments abound.
This you know woefully little of
But you値l learn and it値l be hard.

Yes, you値l forget all you know now
As you grow older but then you値l reach
Here: writing this poem to you
With years of experience to say
That you were right about everything
And I love your dumbass, me at 14.

when I was young, I wanted to be an artist and loved and love in return but I think it was something that I found acceptable

This is just wonderful! Made me reminisce about myself at 14 and all the choices made, both good and bad, that brought me to here - just as your poem here reflects. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Melinda
