The Ghosts of yesterday

by Mo   Mar 7, 2007


When I listen to myself
and hear thoughts deep down in
I sometimes feel ashamed
for dwelling on my sins

I look to the ghosts of yesterday
And the free flowing spirits of tomorrow
and realise theres no point dwelling there
In anticipation or sorrow

Theres something about the blackness
of yesterdays wrongs gone by
And theres something about the blank page
of the future on which we rely

And although sometimes it cant be helped
Reliving my mistakes and dreams
I still cant help but thinking...
I should be living in the now, it seems

    Definetly a message people can relate to. You did a nice job and it by no means deserved a 2. I'll give you a 5 and look forward to reading more of your work!!! You really put the icing on the cake with that ending stanza!

    "And although sometimes I cant help it

    I know i can relate to this stanza a lot.
    I always look back on past mistakes and constantly looking at ways i could have avoided them and how to avoid them in the future.
    But the last line of your poem sums it all up
    Excellently done
    5/5
