What have I lost?

What have I lost?

I've lost my father

at a young age of 9.

 

What have I lost?

I've lost my grandparents

that I was close with,

2 years ago.

 

What have I lost?

I've lost the capability;

of looking at the past,

It's time; to keep moving foward.

 

What have I lost?

I've lost the town,

my childhood place,

moved to a place,

which has many more

pathways to choose from. Good thing?

I believe so.

 

I've lost many things,

lost family members,

hometowns, things that were

holding me back, can't keep

making excuses, I must make my

escape. To succeed in life, one must

believe that they can.

 

What have I lost?
