I’m Finally Me

I was obsessed with the perfect picture of life.

So I searched my world in and out.

And for a moment I said,

Do you know if this is it? Is this what it’s all about?

I looked at life through foggy lenses

My camera head was worn with too much pride

I thought it held every moment that I kept inside my head

And my heart

Now, when I look back at those pictures

I can’t remember how I felt

The way the warm air felt

I can’t remember what days were good, and what were bad

If only I had a snapshot of those moments

That no one else had

That no one else wanted

So, I threw my camera away

Now, I use my eyes instead

To take pictures for my scrapbook inside my head

Where no one ever goes

I always thought the pictures would last a lifetime

But then I thought

Why save them

Memories last much longer

Remember this, my friends. 

“It all begins and ends with who you are.”

Blessings,
