The Past

The past.
We've lived it,
But we can't change a bit.
A scary thing it is,
I might add.
We want to forget
All of the bad times we've gone through.
But it's one of the hardest things to do.
Looking back at the memories,
Pictures and letters,
Poems and journals,
You feel the sadness
And pain,
But somewhat relieved.
Why relieved?
Well, it's the past.
We've lived it.

Even though the past
Is a scary thing,
None of us know
What the future has instore for us.
It may be good,
It may be bad,
It may be right in between.
Who knows?

Forget about the past.
Forget about the future.
Keep your mind in the present,
And see what's going on.
Because with a blink of the eye,
Your present becomes
Your past.
