HAUNTING PAST
I thought the past is meant to be in the past,
why then does it haunt my future still?
My Heart; broken, wounded, in fact, I carry a cast,
boy, isn't that a lot to deal?
Once upon a time they looked at me with so much pride,
I was admired but it only lasted a while,
Filp flip like a switch, I started seeing people's "other side",
the bitter gaze that lingered no matter how hard I tried.
I'm tired of being in the shadows!
I'm done laying low!
am I a star, doomed not to shine?
at least allow me one glow!
All my life I've been forced to "shut down",
"Shut up!", they said, "just keep it shut!"
with disappointed and disapproving frowns,
they brought my dreams to naught.
But then freedom came,
A chance again to taste fame
But I'm scared, I don't want to play this game
What if again I am put to shame?
It happened before, it might happen again
What if l lose after all the gain
It's all in the past, they say
So why does it haunt my present?
