The Past Self Laments

I made you who you are, And now you abandon me! So unfair!

Haven’t I always listened to you? I got you expensive gadgets, I got you your longboard collection, I gave you your job title.

Indulgence was the cafe where we hung out, “Need to be liked”, our usual order of the day, Seeking praise, That’s what we do.

Now you hang out with Frugality, Gratitude and Patience, They are not good for you. They don’t know anything.

You need more to be more, Don’t you see?

Come back to me, I’m still part of you, I AM YOU. One day ... one day ... you will come crawling back to me,

And I will take you back, I’ll always take you back.

Forever yours, Past Self
