"IF I COULD SEE ME"
by Becky Hemsley 2024
If I could see me, young at just twenty-three
I’d tell myself “darling don’t fret
Waste time and have fun ‘cause you’ve barely begun
To figure out who you are yet”
To not really know what to do
It’s normal, it’s fine, take a little more time
And you’ll learn what’s important to you”
I’d talk of my goals and what lights up my soul
And the passions that make my heart smile
Then I would remind me that some things will blind me
And throw me off course for a while
But I would explain, it’s all part of the game
We get lost and we lose and we fail
‘Cause we crash and we burn then we rise and we learn
How to pick ourselves up and prevail
If I could see me, young at just twenty three
I’d say “wasting time’s not a waste
Because you must live so you know what must give
To make room for the dreams you will chase”
And maybe that girl would look out to the world
She’d look up to a star-studded sky
And she’d listen to me about who she could be
Then she’d spread out her wings and she’d fly
