FUTURE SELF
I want you to be different than yourself now,but not the same as everyone else as you see.
Tell yourself to be better,not because you want to be better than someone else.
Mould into your shape, but not in the same mould everyone uses to grow.
Aim in the direction your path follows, but not what your friends follow.
Allow yourself to have setbacks,but do not be scared of what set you back in the first place.
See the same goal that I have today,but not in the same spot that I am looking at it from now.
I want to recognise you, but not feel as if I am looking at the mirror once again.
I know you will be humble, but not crumble under the pressure that your past self has put on you.
You will thrive at your own pace as a winner of your own race,but not win to gain glory or fame.
I will see you,but not in physical or in present time.
At that time you will exceed what I have dreamed for years, but do not forget me because I am where you started and the voice of encouragement in your ears.
Keep writing like this and better than this. It’s always better to compete yourself with yourself to get the better version of yourself.
