BELIEF IN REMEMBERING... AND IN MOVING ON.
Yesterday
I visited a place
In my mind
A place full of memories
A place I once felt safe
But after visiting this place
I found
It is no longer my home
The people I once loved
No longer know me
And I
No longer know them
My memories are fresh
And remembered fondly
But they are now just memories
Memories that help
Shape who I am today
What I thought I wanted
Turned out to be what
I needed to leave behind
I need to start anew
This is my home now
Security rests in here
And as my mind
Drifts, ever so slightly
From these memories
I look to my room
And see the photographs
Upon my walls
And remember
What I've had
And who I've known
And why I must move on.
