All around me
Butterflies in a sea of colorful hues
Suddenly
I'm immersed in an ocean of my past
Summers
Holidays
Birthdays
From long ago
fill my vision
I feel the need to let them go
to free my mind
But where would I be
Without my past always with me
So I'm swimming in
A pool of memories
All around me

I took a headline of a newspaper and used it as my inspiration.
