Forever Been

Forever Been

It wasn't that I was heavier in weight
just heavier in baggage
flying over the memories of old and new
landing onto the ground I was born 
I'm a different soul now
after all
nobody can go through life
without physical and mental change
that's just math 
 
I've learnt a lot in the time I've been away 
like every soul we grow 
we learn we feel with each emotion
whether it be grief or happiness 
but once again my heart strings
have tugged and eventually won 
pulling me over the line and onto home soil
what a wonderful feeling
I start my new journey 
no disco's not many night caps at the pub 
definitely no karaoke, or maybe just one?
a special time capsule that once was…
 
and at the end? 
what will be, will be
and I will just be me.

First two lines made me laugh.
That's just the way it is.

I like the pub rhyming with one lines also.
And the serious tone, not rhyming 
But a cadence to keep the measure.

These lines convey the narrator to be finally at peace with themselves and life after a lifetime of roller-coaster experiences... what a wonderful place to find oneself Shirley. Written as always with elegance and style my friend x

Now I have done it, I've been back for the last time to see if things could change and they cannot. I'm at peace now, having a large disfunctioning family, I've been fighting to love, I now know none of them care so I shall love my best life without them. Thank you dearest B.S 🌹
