Put Your Past on to the Shelf

Is it normal for me,
To fear my past the way i do?
or how i do everything i can,
To keep it from you?

Its a scary thing to think about,
The way i use to be.
How i would do anything i could,
Just to forget that i was me.

But they say looking at you past,
keeps you from repeating a mistake?
I wonder if Adam and eve ever looked back,
at talking to that snake?

Looking back at your past problems
wont fix a single thing!
Cause constently dwelling in" what used to be's"
is like trying to fly with a broken wing.

If you keep putting yourself down,
for all the stupid things you've done.
You'd never have the time to realize
that you've already won.

Your NOT doing those things anymore,
Heck that's an incomplishment in itself.
so step away from your past,
and put it back onto the shelf.
