I am many ghosts
I am many ghosts:
A toddler discovering the world,
A teenager who grew dark and moody,
A young man with a crush on the girl down the street,
A father who worried about his children and bills.
I've experienced storms,
been demonized — and celebrated,
and had years most joyful.
Gone through many birthdays,
disappointments,
loves, and deaths;
at times, yearning for a do-over.
Through the years,
my past lives have sneaked away,
but they still reside inside, somewhere.
For I am many ghosts.
