T asked me to write positive things about me, this was the only way i could do it. feed back please?
I HAVE A MEMORY
I have a memory
of a little girl
bubbling with energy
she is quick to smile
and loves the world
her laughter brings joy
infectious to all
I have a memory
of a little girl
timid and shy
unsure of her world
imagining a life of joy
imagination serves her well
allows escape to heavens embraces
I have a memory
of an older child
afraid to live afraid to die
she grew to adore nature
to nurture and love
all that grows and lives
in natures secret world
I have a memory
of a young teen
rebellious and bright
ready to fight
to right the wrongs
the world has wrought
to makes things right
I have a memory
of a teenager
a lass of the streets
knowing the worlds pain
she learns to protect
hiding these secrets deep
she will fight to live
I have a memory
of a teen
she feels no pain
inflicts her own
she is unloved, yet loves
retains the knowledge
love she has in over abundance
I have a memory
of a young women
who believes in helping
she trusts the world
with all her soul
believes in goodness
that the world is right
I have a memory
of a young mother
she changes her world
for the love she feels
runs strong and deep
she must protect her young
and teach them well
I have a memory
of a college student
intelligent and eager
a passion to learn
a desire to help
to use the past
and help those like her
I have a memory
of a women
born of bitterness
despising the world
anger held inward
learning to protect
whats dearest to her
I have a memory
of an organizer
capable of learning from all
takes this and that
from all the rest
and passes it on
where it will help the best
I have a memory
Of an older women
Going thru life, a chameleon
Never knowing anything is wrong
Across country she finds herself
Now she knows help she must seek
She now fights to become whole
I am me
I am what the world sees
I am a shell encompassing all
I am afraid, yet I hope
I show the world
What it wants to see
While I try my best, to find me
though I am none of these
they are all part of me
for they are all
my memories
I am all of me
I am bubbling with energy,
with a love of life and all it holds
able to protect and willing to fight
I am intelligent and eager to learn
I put my life on the line for others
I go out of my way to help one in need
these are all things I am told
one day I hope to believe
all that others see in me
