lost years

used to be
for years and years
i lived in my fears

restless and uneasy
unable to see Me

angry and sad
half mad

afraid of what i didn't know
afraid of my shadow

the reflection i cast
there hiding in my past

now i see
what used to be
wasn't really Me

as my mind clears
i lose my fears

but, now there are tears
for all those lost years

Yeah, don't do that to yourself Steve. Don't look back. Don't do the would of, could of, should of, of life. The past made you be, see, what you are today. Without it there would be nothing to compare to. Peace friend. ~ Sara

Dang...okay the ending made me sad too...have

to put those tears to bed....and make them dry soon!!

I use my pillow to do that...and it works every time!!

But I need to wash that pillowcase everyday...cause it gets s

tained from my mascara!!

We never win huh?

Oh anyways all jokes aside...this is another touching read Steven!!.

Love Tinka
