I read my old poems,

Some are lovely and flow well,

Others are unstructured in the words used,

But all express my feelings in different ways,

I've learned about my thoughts,

And what I stand for,

I see the fears and dreams that came to pass,

And in this chair as I put this down,

I see a better me who cherishes more,

Who anticipates more,

But more so,

Who lives up to her ideals.
