She has books full of wonder
She has
Her corner in the wretched world
She has warmth sealed inside her
She has beauty
Wrapped up in her darkness

She has bleeding pain
So that her soul can be secure
She has thorns so sharp and black
To embrace
Her little yearning heart

In a wasteland dried out
Where the wind blows hard and cold
She has her head
So stubborn
With her dreams of a future bright

She has the night
She has waterfalls under the moon
She has stars
So far away
Where one day she will be
Where love is born and never fades
Where her scars will disappear

But there is no such place now
And her memories have sealed her fate
Pain has evolved
And hate never dies
And she's lost all the same
To fight anxiety caused by stress during your childhood, you are supposed to pretend to talk to your past self, calming it down and telling it that it will all be alright. But what would you really tell your past self? That in the future, you will still be depressed? That despite of being loved, you will not be able to trust anyone fully? That you will always feel alone? That there is no such a thing as 'freedom', that you are forever a slave to your own desires and world views?

I came to realise I have nothing positive to tell my past self. So I wrote this poem instead.

Another well-written verse of yours.

But even if she can't find that place of her dreams now I'm sure she will find it someday, if she keeps believing and let go of her past...
