CLEANING OUT MY CLOSET

By Devika •
As i clean out my closet. I see each piece of clothing i possess
From skirt to shirt from shorts to dress....
new clothes and old ones n some that i need to discard
So that i have space for new clothes but parting with old ones is so hard!!!....
There are many memories attached with each piece of clothing
some joyous, some sad but its not the clothes that i will be missing
come to think of it, memories weaken me
its so hard to let go of them, ..so hard to be free
I wish i could discard those people in my life that didnt care
those whom when i needed the most, werent there
but people and clothes are a lot different n i know one fact
its the memories i share with each person that holds me back
so as i clean out my closet...i wish i could do the same with my heart
to get rid of the memories and have a fresh start
But this is my heart and not some inanimate closet...
a heart that beats every second of every minute..when i walk down thru that deep memory forest!!!
