“Self Image”
By Ashley O’Hare
Never judge your younger self-
they didn’t know what you know now.
Lessons don’t cease when you graduate;
we learn each and every day.
Overanalyzing your past mistakes
won’t magically make them go away.
You were not created to be perfect-
the people around you were not saints.
Turn around and face the present-
the old you deserves some grace.
Pick up your glasses and gaze into the future-
you could be sitting with the greats.
You’ll never reach your full potential
if you look in the mirror full of hate.
