love lets go as much as it allows waters to flow the seeds that I'd sew the stars I'd wish upon the ways I've got it wrong and made a mess but the mess is me at my best I don't really mind what the rest are saying I must do because you and I may look at the sky and see different patterns in the clouds different constellations in the stars
I don't think we're supposed to see the same in the whirlwinds of change in the flames that form the fire I place the opinions I've adopted onto the pyre I have no use anymore for the chore that is the manifestations of another's wish adopting the gifts they're here to give maybe I have nothing to offer now other than the how to be who you are and even that for you - I don't know because how we grow is mapped by the blueprint inside our own seed yet, I found myself knee deep in so many words that other people would speak that mine no longer felt my own even though they left my lips still I learnt a lot in the teachings I prescribed to my voice like how to sift the wisdom in the noise how to make choice when everything feels loud and the shroud of mist that seems to block all paths the nourishment I'd need when my soul is starved and its body, tired calming a mind that is wired fixed on re-creating another's idea of bliss now, on the star that I wish are only the words "let me rhyme a verse that teaches who I am first that shows me the codes of the seeds sewed by my soul to birth me whole into this world let me hear the voice of the young girl
who always knew the way and let me remember to pray when I feel lost to everything I simply forgot let me live soft as the water that erodes the edges of my capacity gently and let me return to the ocean with the memory of all I came to this lifetime to do everything I see in the eyes of you and everything that became true simply because I believed it could be this is the wish I make from all that is me"
with love,
Emma

Your mentioning of your younger self brings up images of younger me, and just how much our younger selves really seem to know the way.
I see the way my life is evolving now, and when reflecting back I can see those seeds that were planted when I was just a young boy.
