I still get this feeling of doom closing up on me, and this vision of my older self warning me, I think he needs to have a word with me.

Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once wrote, “You could be good today. But instead, you choose tomorrow.”

I

Was Startled just by the sound of him

Was Disgusted just by the sight of him

He

Was Everything I would never want to be.

Was way too damaged beyond any repair.

I

Am slightly broken too but not near broken as him

Paused, glanced and saw he looked a lot like me

He

Stared glaringly and sneered at me

Yanked angrily and yelled at me: ‘Fix Yourself Now!’

I

Panicked, flinched and nodded in fright

Looked in terror and saw in fact, He was me! Damn!

He

Offered a hand to help me up as he shot me a sad smile

Looked at me with remorse, as he gently said:

Fix yourself now that you can be fixed.

Fix yourself now before you are too broken.

Fix yourself now before you shit yourself.

I still get this feeling of doom closing up on me,

And this vision of my older self warning me,

I think he needs to have a word with me.
