Look at you

Look at you;
You're 21 and you're in your room
You're lying in bed staring up into the sky
Through the small patch of window left uncovered by the curtains

Look at you;
You're supposed to be sleeping but you're crying
You're sad about something that happened ten years ago
You didn't even know that it was something you remembered, something that still hurts you.

Look at you;
Hopefully that's what the future you will do
With a smile on her face and contentment in her heart
That the scars that you have left on her
And the lessons you have taught
Will be for her cherished memories
Important building blocks
And hopefully she looks back at you
In your bed with your teardrops
And whispers
Thank you
