Forever More

Forever More


As I remember my past reading the pages before me
Emotions from a time long ago forgotten
Flood back through my veins, through my heart.

Was I always this afraid of the unknown
Of what I was capable of even then
I made my bed, and lay in it now.

To live, to survive, channel my energy
Once upon a time I was someone else
Now I have changed again, adapted.

Change can be good, if you embrace it’s power
To make a difference, if not with actions
Listen to my words dance off the pages.

When my emotions course, so do my thoughts
My thoughts bounce around till it’s time
To etch my words forever more.

Change can be good, it depends on what we change for. Once changed to the good, it would be good forever more....:)
