My Life Poem by Mark Ruiz

My bags are packed, My room seems so strange.
Everything in the house seems so new.
I gathered my books and bags and set them in my car.
I gathered my thoughts really. My memories, my love.
I drove away from my life.
Did I?
In my dorm it feels too strange.
Everything in the dorm seems so new.
I organized my books and bags and set them in my room.
I wrote out my thoughts, my memories, my love.
I drove into my new life today.
Did I?
I looked through my yearbook.
And gathered my old journals.
I thought long and hard.
And thought good and bad.
I reconnected with my life today
After thinking it was gone.
Wherever I'm at, at college or home,
My life will always be mine
