Remind Me

I want to be reminded of the days I wore A smile
Not the days where I committed a crime
Remind me of the days I jumped so high
I thought I could touch the sky
Not the days I got high
Feeling like I was going to die
Remind me of the days I did my best
Not the days you talk of me less
The days I cried for something meaningful
Not the days i was sinful
Buried my memories deep inside
Just so i dont have to cry
Remind me of the days i laughed
Not the days i frowned because of failure in class
The days i got harassed
Weaker in the past
Stronger in the present
Got to move fast
All the things i have done
I AM NOT PERFECT
Never was, perfect in my own way
So remind me of that one.

Welcome to PS, Margarette. Cheer up, you are who you are. Be the best that you can be, that's all anyone can ask. No one is perfect and anyone who expects you to be has a real problem. This is an awesome piece you wrote. Hope to see many more. Chin up. Have a great day. All the best to you and yours. Looking forward to your next posting. xxxRalph

Don't be depressed. Nobody is perfect in this. Sometimes flaws are necessary in life, margarette,
