Memories Forsaken

Memories Forsaken

Many people have a fondness for the past;
there are so many things they’re missing;
some of the present should always last;
like a special person they’d be kissing.

But the past also contains much sorrow;
now memories, stored in the attic;
we must replace, with

No Longer About Me

No Longer About Me

When I was young, it was all about me;
what would my life be like;
who was I destined in this life, to be;
after I outgrow my bike.

Slowly I grew, to become a man;
my life turned into obligation;
each day started as daybreak

No Man Is An Island

No Man Is An Island

No man is an island; and no man a god;
tho, many believe that they are;
attempting to replace a deity seems odd;

from weakness, within; many succumb;
for all have been caught by surprise.
