Past, Present and Future

Contributed by VR2776 on Wednesday, 12th August 2009 @ 07:22:24 AM in AEST
Topic: Nostalgic

My past is so clear, I can vividly see
All the wrongs and bad decisions
which have come to define me

Things that no one will ever know
And things only some do
Things I would be afraid to show
Things that I'm not sure
how I made it through

Shame, guilt and depression,
Thoughts of unforgiveness,,
Suicide and pain
To a Doctor I'd sit and talk
But for me, it was only a game

This was my past and though
much for me now has changed
I'm not who I was back then
And I know there's alot
Thats no longer the same

Which brings me to the present
which is blurry and still not very clear
Today, where what I thought was
so certain
Now fills me with doubts and sadly
even fear

When once I thought I was doing
everything so right
I wonder now how things
can go so wrong
It says be careful if you think
you are stable
Because you will learn you are
not so strong

I continue to make decisions
that are shaping, my future to be
A future that's uncertain
A future I can't even see

No one can see their future
This is what will be said
But based on how you live your life
An idea of what's to come,
Can be easily be read

But not for me
because i'm still lost in my present
Not sure of which way I should go
I walk in fear and anxiety
Even with all the things that I know

I war with doing what is right
And with doing what I want
It's this very thing which
makes my past, visit and haunt

So here I stand, still seeing my past
so vividly and clear
My present,that's blurry,
filled with doubt and filled with fear
And to a future that's not planned
And is no where in sight
I must look to something higher than I
For this is a battle I alone cannot fight

very honest open and fort right poem
esential ingrediants of good poetry
though i don't lean tward rhyme as i think
it lends a sense of triteness to the poem.
well done.
