Shell Poetry Competition Autumn 2022 - New Beginnings

RUNNER UP

Memories…

Memories of the loved,

Always on my mind.

Even some of those of which

I want to leave behind.

Remember all the good times,

They feel so long ago.

It all keeps coming back to me,

I don’t want it to go.

Think of what it was before

And what it feels like now.

The time for change has come

And new beginnings have aroused.

I’m going to have to start again,

A new identity.

I need now to be ready,

To create new memories…
