This suitcase of mine :)

I carry a suitcase just like everyone else

Collection of baggage from times long past

But today I decide to unpack

To throw all the unhappiness out

And gently fold the good memories up

That my life so seemed to lack.

All the memories set me up to be armed.

To battle through unhappy times

To realise that these came my way

To build a character that stands here today.

I am afraid of what the future holds?

No not me…anticipation of times yet to come

Caus with my little suitcase I know I will find a way

To gently pack more happy memories away

An throw away the bad

Leave them behind

To keep building my character and strength

People always knew I had .

It’s time for me to shine and smile

Caus the loads a lot lighter in this suitcase of mine.
