Dancing Skeletons

If you've got skeletons in your closet,
Sit back and let them dance.
Life offers us just one shot,
Don't allow past regrets
Pass up your chance.

Those mistakes you made, back in the day,
Are ones you can't delete.
But if you're open, with who you are,
It doesn't take long to get back
On your feet.


We all have those times, which we regret,
And those memories we'd like to erase.
But life is a long, and winding road,
Oft compared to that
Of a maze.

So many corners to overcome,
'Tis wise to move with lengthy stride,
Offer an arm to the skeletons,
To keep up the pace.
For they help to define
Who you are inside.

    I think we all have things that are hidden in our closet that we do not want others to know about until we are ready but the thing is that you are the one that has to be ready to face it before anyone else can

    Wonderful write here

    I tell people everyday our past is what drives us to be better to work harder to get it right and know the joys of life to be ourselves and leave the pack behind for often when you try to become what you are not you lose that one person that loves you the most YOURSELF
