How would I go back and face a younger me?
Filled with dreams of what we were going to do
We were going to live in Japan
Someone was going to love us
There was going to be a happy ever after together forever
All the things I was going to do
Travel
Learn languages
How would I face my younger self and tell them
Japan was a momentary blip
No one loves us
There is no happy ever after, just revolving poverty
All the things we were going to do
Instead we started using a cane at 27
Instead we had to drop out of school because we can’t learn like they teach anymore
Instead we live in our chair
Experiencing the world through video games
Our escape becoming our window into the outside world
How would I tell myself that we wrote a book but it will sit, unfinished, on my hard drive forever?
I don’t know
I am terrified to face the child in me whose dreams became dust
