Here I Go Again

“If you don’t know where you come from, then you don’t know where you are, and if you don’t know where you are, then you don’t know where you’re going. And if you don’t know where you’re going, then you’re probably going wrong.”

- Sir Terry Pratchett (via Tiffany Aching), I Shall Wear Midnight

Here I Go Again

Here goes my pants,

Here goes my shirts.

Here goes my fears,

Here goes my hurts.

Here goes my schooling,

The lessons I’ve learned,

The lessons I’ve forgotten,

The bridges I’ve burned.

Here goes my job,

My livelihood, my trade.

Here goes the cockups,

All the mistakes that I’ve made.

Here goes my goals,

Here goes my regrets,

Here goes my winnings,

Here goes my debts.

Hear goes my courage,

My weaknesses, and sin.

Here goes the memories,

Of all the places I’ve been.

Here goes my loves,

And all of my romance.

All my missed opportunities,

And hopes for a second chance.

There goes who I was,

The way I used to be.

Here comes tomorrow,

And the way I wish to be.
