Whispers from My Future Self

I've been walking through the shadows of the doubt I made

Counting cracks in dreams I let slip and fade

But in the quiet, I hear a voice I know

Like a distant star that starts to glow

She says

"I've been where you are, and I made it through

Every tear you cry is a seed that grew"

Whispers from my future self

Calling through the storm I felt

Saying, "You're stronger than you think

You're the fire, you're the spark, you're the missing link"

I'm holding on to every word she tells

In the whispers from my future self

She talks like sunlight breaking past the fear

Every syllable makes my path more clear

She knows the battles I've yet to fight

And still she swears I'll find my light

She says

"Darling, don't you dare give in to fear

The mountain's steep, but joy is near"

Whispers from my future self

Like a letter sent from hope itself

Saying, "You're more than every scar

You're a universe wrapped in a beating heart"

I'm learning to believe in someone else

The whispers from my future self

She told me

"Your failures are the roots of grace

And you'll bloom in your own time, your place"

So I rise, even when I shake

Because she believes in every step I take

Whispers from my future self

Now I sing them like a spell

"Don't you stop, you've just begun

You were always meant to chase the sun"

The girl I'll be, she knows me well

I am her, she is myself

In these whispers from my future self

She's still whispering

And I'm listening
