May 2012
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.
