My Experiences Things that I dare, to or not do Is a reflection of things that I have been through All of my experiences have made me This person before you that you now see Some have made me stronger yet, others afraid To try again for I have made Mistakes in my life that I regret These are the ones that in my mindset Are harder to get over or get past For these are the ones that seem to unmask Bad or painful memories that I try to forget Yet, to learn from them I must let Them into my conscious to be aware To again commit them, I do not dare So, I attempt to retain all that I can That by learning I might be, a better man And not to again recreate previous errors To improve myself and try to never Hurt, injure, shrug or offend To be more sensitive to others and to improve from within Patrick Wayne Hollier Copyright 2001 Patrick Hollier |
