Dear Self, Dear future, Dear tomorrow's yesterday
I stand ready, I fall prepared, I rise unsteadily
I breathe with hesitation, I release the air on streams of joy
I pray with faith, I pray with doubt, I pray to a question and a answer
I question, I answer
I love, I hate
I worry, I rejoice
I wish you a perfect future and a perfect tomorrow's yesterday
