Future Me

I’m working on a new training regimen
One where I don’t see myself
But what I could be
The Future me

He’s in there somewhere, just under the surface
Under the grey, under the gut
I see him and he helps me find the path to where we meet
Where one day I won’t be the only one who sees him

No longer a reflection in my mind’s eye
But out for everyone to see
Proud and tall
The one who smiles confidently, still with some grey
     -cause let’s face it, it kinda works

He’s funny and well liked
Not too different from me now
Just happier
I see you in there, Future me
Soon they will see you too
