I have travelled far and wide, <br />I have seen the world, every conflict, <br />Every aggression, pride and every side, <br />I don't know who I agree with, <br />Maybe nobody, but I trust myself, <br />I am not a ghost yet, I wake with the sun, <br />And I move, never stopping, <br />But I never run: I face fears head-on, <br />But it can be a dangerous world, <br />People can attack and become paranoid, <br />People can lie and scheme and laugh, <br />But I don't let them, for I am just the viewer, <br />Like a person watching a film, <br />And whether it is a horror, drama or romance, <br />I don't know, but I do love romance the best, <br />There has to be a good to every bad, <br />Things must be created equal, <br />Man, woman, boy, girl, all on this world, <br />And we are all the same deep down, <br />No one wants gossip spread around town. <br /> <br />I spray perfume and use my iPhone, <br />Hoping I fit in with the rest, <br />And I jump from bus-to-bus, plane-to-train, <br />I have a whole wide world to see, <br />And I want the world to know me, <br />For I have a suitcase of memories, <br />Of parties and dinners and talk among friends, <br />And even though I know this life will one-day end, <br />I don't want it to be wasted or stopped too soon, <br />I want to wake with the sun and sleep with the moon, <br />Travel from day-to-day, packing up my troubles, <br />And smiling with the big, bad world, <br />Leaving danger to those who deserve it.<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/suitcase-of-memories-2/
