sometimes i lay in bed
imagine my future self
frail and wrinkly
laying in bed
imaging my younger self
twisting and turning
breaking my back
just so people can be comfortable
silly goose
why didn't you put yourself first
now i'm here
thinking about regrets
all those years
you chose to be small
in exchange for validation
i don't have much time left
but...
with all the little time
i'm going to put myself first
it's not too late
but...
if you don't want to see a sad old lady
i hope you can still change
for the sake of yourself
because after all
it was always you
