Poetry Contest Description
Write a letter to your past or future self
I would like everyone to write a letter to their-selves.
Options:
A letter to yourself 5 years ago
A letter to your self 5 years in the future
Do this as openly as you like!
I am currently doing a project with some children aged 10 - 16 years old and I will be asking them to do this also - so it will be great to see what you come up with! (If suitable and with permission, I will share your piece with the children as an example for them)
Thanks! Enjoy x

A Map into Your Future
Go ahead and open your journals and calendars,
And turn to the pages five years from before,
Are you where you always wanted to be?
Do you remember the promises you swore?
Make a pact with yourself and remember it well,
In fact write them down and turn them to goals,
So that you’ll have a map into your future,
So that you’ll be the one at the controls.
When obstacles arise be wise and revise your design,
Strategize and maneuver your way toward your objective,
But most important of all don’t get discouraged,
Read your plan every day to make sure it’s effective.
Letters to yourself and diary entries are reflections,
Of who you are, your dreams and who you aspire to be,
But think about where you want to be in five years,
And ask yourself, how will I reach my destiny?

Hey there old man
I wonder if you even remember me?
5 years have come and gone
You slept like a snake
While time played you
So all I want to say is hey
Try to hold on to your dreams
Make sure you do things right
And if you can
Don't lose me
I'll always be here
Cheering you on
In this moment
Now so long gone
Don't wait for the sound of guns
Pick up your shit now and start to run
Do it now, cause time never sleeps
Hope to see you soon my friend.

This is why..
So you want the real story
Once apon a time
I committed a crime
The details all too gory
I speak my secrets when I sleep
Discovered the hard way
This is how he makes me stay
This is why I am in trouble so deep
He made me his wife
So I stay in this hell
To avoid a prison cell
So this is the story of my life
Beneath the tattoos that I wear
You’ll see the many scars
That are not from crashes or cars
But you’ll only know if you really stare
You see he was my best friend
And he pushes me to be violent
I retaliate and stay silent
Unsure how this will end
I torment him with many a sordid love affair
Sex for him is sacred
I just like to get naked
You can’t force me to care
He says I am too hard
I have no heart
He knew this from the start
This is my winning card
No one will ever get me whole
I will always win
Even if I pay using sin
I have no heart no soul
