What are you waiting for?
Lessons of the Past.
Clinging to you as a Shadow,
Your past never truly goes away.
You can not change what has already passed,
Nor can you ever truly forget it.
Your past is Over.
For good or for ill,
It is Done.
Always remember the good.
A smile, a laugh, a connection.
These are the good times,
And should never be Forgotten.
The Ill...
Horrors, atrocities, pains.
Acts committed by You and to You....
These we all seek to hide from.
These are the most important to Never Forget.
Your past is who you were,
It is not who you are today.
But without the Past, you wouldnt be who you are today without it.
Wounds from the past,
Some will Never truly heal.
They scab over, raw and painful...
Fresh Memories for eternity.
Never try and forget...
These must be accepted,
and used to grow yourself,
or one can Never move forward.
Other wounds will heal, with time.
Scars left by those wounds are deep,
and never truly fade.
We are Shaped more
By the Pain and Horrors
Of our lives
Than we are by the Happiness and Joy.
This is Life.
But One must always remember.
Who you were....
Is not Who You Are.
Who you Are...
Is Who you have chosen to be,
After learning the lessons from your Past,
And with your own Strength, and those around you.
Take a Breath,
Take a Step,
Keep your eyes Forward,
Never Bow to the weight of the Past.
Let it make you Stronger,
Accept the pain,
the Anguish,
and See the good that has come from it.
Remember, even if you doubt your own Strength,
Your friends and Family are always there to lend theirs.
Tomorrow is a New Day,
and a New You.
J. Strong
