Analysis of Dear to my past self



To the one I was yesterday,
I know you've been searching a way
To escape of what you have done
Because this is not what you plan

I know that you wanted to run
Find something you could do for fun
So you can hide to everyone
And sometimes you wish to be gone

I want to say that it's okay
You are young and wanted to play
That sometimes life are color gray
It's not always a rainbow day

See, you did lots of fallacy
But you did grow happily
I'm so proud of you younger me
I know you did great seriously

You're worthy than what you believe
I know you're young why you deceive
But you learn from your past and leave
I'm grateful of what you've achieve
