Not Left Behind

I used to think I'd rewrite
Each and every line
Until it was just right,
More than "just fine."

Now I just leave
Every precious rhyme,
So I can see what I achieve
On and on through time.

I won't change
What I wrote then,
No matter how strange
Because it shows where I've been.

I write how I feel
In the moment now.
I won't change what was real,
Even though I know how.

Now I can wander each hall
Of my changing mind,
Watching it all,
So none of me gets left behind.
