Rewriting Memory
Money, I chose money over education
Earning a living was a need but it had an effect
I made my way up but then I hit ceilings
I knew there was growth in me in retrospect
And no matter where I went or where I landed
I moved up in some way but couldn’t go higher
There was something missing I knew I had to get
So I’d become the one they wanted to hire
It was until that day I decided to go back
That I finally had that determination
And years after I finished my education
I think about the version without hesitation
I could have been further along my career
I should have tried harder, been harder on myself
I would have gained knowledge and been more centered
I may have provided more for everyone else
I know that these rewriting memory sessions
Are just wishes of what I could have done better
What I do want is for these to serve as warnings
For others to value time with this open letter
Powerfully penned, Wally. Excellent write with an important message my friend. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.
