A message to my younger self

Oh my dear younger self,

All these years, I have been calling you stupid, 

but you aren't! 

Trusting people is your goodness,

 but keeping it isn't within your control. 

You were pure, away from this world's cruelty. 

You took a leap of faith and trusted.

 It's just that others lost their conscience

 or never had it in the first place.

So, I will not be cruel to you anymore. 

I will be the adult you are counting on. 

I will be the one to embrace you 

and wipe your tears, 

to stay with you when you can't talk. 

Fear not, younger one,

 I will be that adult you were searching of.
