The Younger Me

The younger me would try to be

A person you might like to see.

When plans were made, I would agree

To travel with the flow.


I’d care about what people thought

And follow rules I had been taught

And make sure everything I bought

Was worth that kind of dough.


I’d worry about how I looked

And fuss with everything I cooked

And obligations got me hooked

When I could not say no.


That younger self does not exist

And though some remnants do persist, 

To meet me now, you will have missed 

That me from long ago.
