The Letter

If I could write a letter to my younger self,
how would I begin?

Would I make it out to:
The Boy Who Does Not Have It All Quite Figured Out Yet?

Would I warn myself
about the mistakes I’ve made?
Would I tell myself everything to avoid?

Or would I make it out to:
The Person I’m Proud Of?
—because I did the best
with whatever information
I had at the time.

Would I include all of my wins
or just a few to keep me on my toes?

If I could write a letter to my younger self,
would I write it at all?
