Today
As I got up
I received a message
Two old videos of me
For a second I hesitated
Do I watch them
Do I look back to who I was
And never again will be
Then I realized
No
This was what was
Not in the present
It was what once seemed important
And is now just a reflection
Pieces of me stayed
Pieces of me left
Pieces of me are still in my heart
Pieces of me are broken apart
So instead of giving in
I replied
Let her go
She transformed
And then I allowed myself
To do the same
To let go
And be grateful
For this message
And the person I once was

Memories on tape better to let them be kept in that soft box of the mind. Well written
This one really hit home…bravo!
