Parts of Me I’ve Left Behind

The memory of my past is like a foggy day

Blurry and mixed around, dark and gray

I do remember playing games and having fun

I remember the friends and how we liked to run

I used to be snotty, rude, and to get along with- maybe hard

I liked to play catch with my dad in the backyard

I once wrote a song about forgetting it all

I tried to forget about fighting with friends in the Fall

All of those days have gone, have unwound

I faintly remember building snow forts and rolling on the ground

Lots of these things I’d like to try again, lets rewind

But all of these things are parts of me I’ve left behind.

Everyone needs to leave something behind in order to grow. This is about what I left.  Writtin in 2003.
