IS IT GOING TO BE - HISTORY OR MYSTERY

A poem on the decision to be with the past or move on and look forward

The path of past is a crooked one

One of sorrow and immense pain

I see nothing but my wrecked dreams

The future is dim and I see no gain....

I walk into the stream of my distorted past

blinded by my love and sweetness of all

I learned a lot from the tumbles and fall

Every time I felt I took the wrong call....

The memories I hold churn my within

But my face doesn't show a freckle or scar

The thoughts I behold are hard to keep

Maybe it's time I took a huge leap....

The memories I hold are not silken to touch

The pain I hold within my side acts as a crutch

I have gone through hell; you don't want to judge

I guess I have to let go of my twisted grudge....

Both the ways are befuddling or rather glassy eyed

Should I go forward or stay with past, I feel tied

For I wish to know; if my happiness will last

It's time I decide what I shall do with my past.....

The time has come for me to choose

I look ahead with my chin held high

There is no time for sorry or a goodbye

Just look ahead and let the memories fly......

Author's Note

Everyone has a twisted past and this one is mine. Its important to know when to let go and when to hold on.....

This was in my library after the second stanza...this one certainly struck me to the bone. We all have the proverbial skeletons in our closet as you referred to, but there comes a time in our lives when that closet must be cleaned. My favourite piece of yours to date...this is a phenomenal work :)
