From My Heart

A thousand thoughts, yearnings

milling around 

thoughts that churn 

in my mind,

yearnings 

an ache in my mind,

memories that 

pave paths to walk on

again and again,

memories that refuse

to let go

clinging to the walls

of my mind,

nurtured by the tears 

I shed.

Memories that changed me

forever.

I long for the old me

for who I was...

I yearn to escape 

from these sad memories,

 to remember only

the good ones,

to be free and happy,

mind tranquil as a

still pond.
