Determination

(My Past)


My past holds many dark secrets
No onw must know, no one must breach
The door that contains the things I've done
My past would resurface and I would run
I run as fast as I can
To elude it and be bothered never again
I realize now that escape is pointless
My past ambushes me, violent, relentless
It pollutes my mind with frightening images
The more I see, the more determined I am
To use it to my advantage, to grow and expand
Learn from my mistakes and errors
My journey through life shall be bright and clear
Demons form the past come to impede me, haunt me
But they will fail, nothing shall stop me.
