For Me

Tears streaming down now
For what I once was
For what I will never be 
For me losing me

Heart shutting off now
For what I need
For what I leave
For protecting me

Breath flowing slow now
For what breaks me
For what takes me
For hiding inside me

Eyes closing tight now
For what I can’t see
For what I can’t believe
For remembering me

we all change we all falter and then we all grow a very deep and well written introspective piece which shows you are looking at yourself,,somethings we can change others we cannot,either way we carry on and live life with as much love ,laughter and light,,,blessings..Cecil
