Introducing Me

I have a tendency of introducing me 

to my next season 

like it’s a warning-

a constant sabotage 

on who I can be

all because of who was-once-me

I shake the hand of my future

with a smirk that speaks

you'll learn to hate her, just wait and see

and eventually, you’ll know what I mean

but what would happen

if I left her in the past

if I never let her meet me

and I threw away the mask

the one that bounds me

to historically repeat

the same mistakes 

and the same defeats

what would happen

if she didn't have a say

if she didn't hold the power

over how viewed my day

if I left her broken pieces in the mess she made herself

if I separated her problems from me, and I learned to go and get help

how clear would I think

and how peaceful I would be

if I could learn 

to stop letting her introduce me
