Reflection

It is my time to reflect

On the good days and the bad,

I know I have lived my life with no regrets,

And I’ve learned there’s no reason to stay mad.

 

Everything that’s happened in my life I have learned from,

And the people I have met taught me new things.

Don’t let negative things stick out like a sore thumb,

No matter how hard it may sting.

 

Not many people know me well enough to acknowledge,

My past living experiences have been shaky,

But I don’t let what has happened to me keep me from things such as college.

I have become a stronger person from every experience, and far from flaky.

 

I stand here now, reflecting on my life

Wondering where my next chapter will take me,

Hopefully I’ll have qualities to make a good wife,

If not, I shall have my cats and afternoon tea.
