All I Need Scholarship Entry


All I need's my memories.

For the future I cannot see,

but my past will always stay within me.

When a loved one's done and gone,

memories give me the power to mourn.

They let me remember my times of delight;

they won't let me forget my times with no light.

the mistakes I've made won't leave my head,

and although they're somthing i may dread;

these memories keep me from doing them again.

The good times keep me up and afloat.

When I fuck up, they become my boat.

All i need's my memories.

The future keeps coming,

but the past never leaves.
