Your words and ideas
and your flesh and your bone
are what make you a human,
and you're not alone
if your heart pumps your blood
and keeps right on beating
and your mind is awake,
if you keep on repeating
your purpose
and goals
and give effort and care
you can find your own someone
who cares if you're there.

You don't have to be perfect,
you are good enough,
and experiences that formed you,
be they smooth or rough
aren't something you can change,
so there's no use repeating
the hurt, and though pain isn't fleeting,
nor is love
or commitment
or memories of good times,
so express them, in stories,
in words that make rhymes,
and however it is that you explain who you are
just remember you choose to let down your guard
to make your life meaningful
and purposeful
and true,
these can be your new memories,

but it's all up to you.
