Photo Albums

Its just another chapter of my life
Its just my on-going photo album of hurdles that I've cleared

What will the pictures I will soon be taking look like?
What kind of memory will I have of the next thirty days?

Weeks, then months, then years after, it passes
Still I remember and keep my eyes forward
Years, not months, not weeks after, I look backward
Still I realize that I have never been the same

The comfort of stability
The trauma of uncertainty

Its just another lesson to be learned
Its just the way it will always be

Why did the pictures I took the following month seem brighter?
Why didn't I see this coming and put my mind at ease?

Good poem! I loved lines 6 and 7. so true. I never thought of doing a poem about memories and photo albums together. Nice job!
