It Stays

Your past never releases you, it stays.

It remains there, every bit of cheating.

Be aware - It will come on certain days.

                       

Images can come back in different ways.

An old picture can have a new meaning.

Your past never releases you, it stays.

 

Memories can lead to a frightful maze,

But they can also bring a good feeling.

Be aware - It will come on certain days.

               

You may think your past has been filled with praise,

But look close, there’s not only succeeding.

Your past never releases you, it stays.

 

The severity of your past lacks rays.

Do not squirm, It can be liberating.

Be aware - It will come on certain days.

 

Someone I know has a dark past, she prays

For mercy and for a way of dealing.

Your past never releases you, it stays.

Be aware - It will come on certain days
