if little me were to see me as i am now,

i wonder if she'd be proud,

to know what i'm still standing strong

i wonder if she'd be excited,

to see how far i've come,

i wonder if she'd look at me,

and the scars on my arms,

she'd probably wonder what went wrong,

i wish i could hold little me,

and assure her everything would be fine,

i would tell her,

"you'll find peace in time",

i wonder if she'd comment,

on how much we look like our dad,

there are so many things she'd probably ask,

like,

"Are we still friends with EB?"

or,

"Can we finally run super fast?"

i would probably laugh,

"you know kiddo, i don't think i'll answer that."

i wouldn't tell my little self anything,

that would be related at all to our future,

i know little me would worry too much,

and i know she grew up way too fast,

i want to see her smile last,

i wonder if she'd let me cup her face,

or if those memories are still too fresh,

i wonder if she can hear the voices in our head,

i'm not sure if our childhood has been ruined yet,

if i could see little me,

i'd make sure she felt safe and okay,

because in all honesty,

little me deserves it.
