Poetic Dan

The \"who\" I shall retain

I get caught up with many battles, played on my shelf

 

Each time words are left, my imagination wishes to carry them on

 

They are keeping my shelf full, I just can\'t keep up

 

Each day I greet many dogs I empty it with ease

 

To create the reflection I desire, it must be only love, respect and peace

 

From this moment forward boundaries are in place

 

To see every human is in their own race, as I must keep focus on my own pace

 

Dancing like no one is watching, singing down memory lane

 

I\'m about to lose control and yet stillness does remains

 

No guilt will turn me round, no pressure will make me fold

 

Each time I take that breath in, I blow clean my shelf untold

 

After years of guidance, nothing will ever remain

 

As each moment is freshly new, in eyes that reflect my name

 

That\'s the \"who\" I shall retain, when walls of shame are closing in

 

I was the only one to blame, forgiveness holds many names
