Part 3/3 of ‘Life: A Poetry Trilogy’

Roses are red, and violets blue

In a world of blacks and whites,

You are a different hue.

Dear past me,

Thank you so much.

For the blissful mistakes,

And a wonky start.

Thank you for having fun

Without any filters,

Thank you for setting the path

Up to my teen years.

Thank you for wandering off

To wherever life took you

All the overthinking and anxiety

If I had looked at it another way

happiness would not have been far away

Thank you for staying strong,

And most of all,

Thank you for a lucid dream.

The dream of reaching a place in life,

Where I took no part

In comparing people,

And only seeing a human heart.
