A

Letter To Younger Self

When I landed here,
Bewildered was I and all I wanted was to disappear,
With nowhere to run, I embraced the spirit of a musketeer,
Learned to fight my own battles with a weapon in hand, a spear.
Listen to me, Oh dear,
The universe is a maze, but don't fear
'cause I'll guide you through, I am your pioneer,
so, quite worrying, be happy and cheer.
There are rules of nature you must adhere,
Be attentive, not everything is as it appears,
Nothing comes easy, you'll have to persevere,
But when the load gets too heavy, it is okay to tear.
Approach the puzzle with care,
Too many paths, some may ensnare
you. Don't sleep too long, beware
that everyday the end draws near.
