A Letter

[Skit]

Dear You,
No that's stupid—

- Paper crumbles.

Dear Cupid,
Sorry we never got to meet
Some of my friends say that you’re sweet
And that if we were to meet
We'd be good friends.

Dear Sleep,
Call me, I miss you.

Dear Passion,
It's been a while since I last kicked it with you.

Dear Younger Me,
I’m sorry I didn't have enough tissues to dry your eyes.

Dear Negativity,
I'm glad I never let you back into my life.

Dear Future Wife,
I'm sorry I'm taking too much time
I'm working on making myself the best version of me
For you and me.

Dear Family,
I love you.

Dear Friends,
I love you...

Dear Friends,
I'm sorry I couldn't do more.

Dear Everyone,
I’m sorry I can’t be more.

Dear Everyone,
I love you.

Dear Me,
I'm learning to love you.

Dear Me,
I know that I bug you
But know that I want to
Undo everything that was done to you.

Dear Me,
That’s a lie...
Because I know that you'd rather fly with crooked wings
Than to die with perfect ones.

Dear Me,
I know that reality has been cruel to you
So that's why you live in your imagination
Live in the fabrication of overbearing optimism
Because enough of this world produces pessimism.

Dear God,
I know I shouldn't but I have a few skepticisms
Like why do others that don’t deserve it
Hit their marks with perfect precision
While I live in taking Ls and submissions.

Dear God,
I mean no disrespect.

Dear God,
Allow me to coat check my ego at the gate.

Dear God,
I don't hate you.

Dear God,
I don't berate you...
I just seek to understand.

Dear Future Me,
Please... be the man I hope to be
I don't need you to be perfect in symmetry.
Just stay authentic...
The way we meant to be
No gimmicks.

Dear Me,
You are terrific.

Dear Me,
You are a prolific poet
And I hope that you know it.

Dear Me,
You don't fit in
Because you're supposed to stand out
Own it...

Dear Everybody,
I know this life ain't a picnic
But it's all we've got
Savor each moment
Though I can control words and their letters
I could never find the words to write a good letter
Every time I'd start
I'd never finish
Cause I'd always want them to be better
This letter is for me.

No, no—
It's for you.

No, no, no—
This letter is for friends and family.

No—this letter is for anyone
Who had no clue what they're going through.

I've never been good at letters
Hopefully this'll be the first step in me getting better.

This is for you.

Sincerely, me...
