I Will Not Look Back.

by Courageous Dreamer   Aug 10, 2008


The past is the past, and I will not look back.
I refuse to look back on the things that I am
not capable of changing no matter how hard I try.
I will only focus on the present and future.

I will prolong my life and look straight ahead.
Stumbling upon my feelings and being sad,
will only cause me to fall into a deep dark hole.
I will only live in the present and hope for the future.

I'll continue to be grateful for what I already have,
and not try to let my feelings override my decisions.
I will not dwell on past experiences anymore,
instead, I will learn to appreciate how great things are.

I will look up for inspiration.
I will not look back in desperation.
I will only look straight ahead with optimism.
From this point on, I will not look back.

    I am sorry, but I cant feel this as poetry. It is like a diary writing. You could of put all this in a blog or a journal. There is no rhyme, or flow to this at all.

    I, first must say, I love the ending. Look for the good things and life and forget any regrets, any bad times, and anything that doesn't show brighter days. Just live for today and tomorrow, not yesterday.

    Word choice was good by choosing what you needed to, to exactly describe what you wanted to say. Lots of feelings I can pull out of this poem. Reminscing on the past, the good and the bad, and tossing it all aside.
    Great poem.

    Well, when I was reading this I felt that you were making a promise to yourself. Anyway it was not the best poem from you, but it was still an excellent written piece. Using the last words as the title makes the readers in awe.

    I will only look straight ahead with optimism.
    From this point on, I will not look back.
    - I wish I could be optimistic too. If this poem was true... good luck in moving on or whatever.

    Keep up the awesome work.

    I really liked this piece. I really liked the message.

    "I'll continue to be grateful for what I already have,
    and not try to let my feelings override my decisions.
    I will not dwell on past expiriences anymore,
    instead, I will learn to appreciate how great things are."

    -- Hm. I'm thinking "expiriences" is misspelled. I think it should be "experiences". Maybe not, but the way you spelled it doesn't look right to me.

    That's the only thing I was unsure about. Everything else, I feel, was written perfectly. Great job on this. Really. Five out of five.
