The Past

Recently my past has changed

What happens
When the past
Changes
Morphing
Unknown brought
To the light
What once
Was pain
Now muted
And confused
With emotions
Twisted in knots
Unsure of response
Heavy heart
Clouded mind
Year of pain
Not as it seems
With apology
Warranted and thanked
Yet own thoughts
And emotional responses
Now feel bleak
Even for unknown
Your words
An explanation
Long time coming
So now I decide
What to do
How to feel
My reactions
What to feel
Where ignorance
Was once bliss
I know more
Than maybe
I should

A very unique write and concept. To change one's past by living in the present. You amaze me with your talent...:).................

Thank you Sami, though I would say you outshine me in many ways. I am but the raw dirt that springs forth the beautiful flowers.

[Sami Khalil]

All good. You are welcome...:)..............

Then love the chaos that is my brain - fragmented thoughts and raw emotions.

And yes, I seem to be known for my endings more and more as people are attracted to my writing.

Loved the structure here, great details, and awesome finish! Wonderful poetry...you're talented my friend

[Wynter Ignatius]

Thank you also my friend - I'm getting far more traction here than I ever did on Facebook so my kindred gets much of my thanks for that. Endings seem to be where I shine the most as I've been told.

Love this. Good stuff. We often try and mute the past; sometimes its easier to blame ourselves and forget than to relive the painful truth in detail

I feel inspired to write something about that now :)

[Wynter Ignatius]

If I have inspired you then I am honored, awaiting to see it but also doing my "job" as a poet - to provoke thought and emotion with words from the soul.

Better to know more than you should than to not know anything at all, in my opinion. Typo on the fifth to last line- "Wher ignorance" other than that, great poem. Wish I could get some answers.

Thanks for noticing - all fixed now.
