The Past

By Damien Knight

The past is a nightmare

That I try to flee

A horror story

Where the idiot is me

I keep wishing it wasnt mine

The tale is someone else

That my life was fine

And they lived the tragedy

I tired of the nightmare

And pleaded for better

Embrace my loved ones

Glad we are together

If only I could forget

The past transgressions

Live life without regret

It’s time I move on
