memories are sometimes disguised so that we do not see all The imperfections that lie in you and me. The memories that are painful can sometimes be our strengths For if we take it by the horns We can mold it and it will bend. There are so many people that we meet Along the way, some we turn our backs on And some we allow to stay. People are so defensive that it becomes Easy to offend. You say something jokingly , then you lose a friend. We put our feelings in disguise so that no one Can see, that we can cry like anyone else but live in hypocrisy. The disguises can be many and we tend to hide our face, but when we look in the mirror All that we can see, is the pain in our eyes That brings back those memories. Memories can be like daggers that stab you in the back They will build up inside of you and then they double stack. Let us take off the disguises and face it head on Once we do that it will all be gone. Then the memories that lie within ourselves Will be all of beauty and there it will dwell.
