    My Present, My Past, Not My Future

    this thing that happened it should be now past
    but I guess in our memories that it will now last.
    I thought I could be natural man but I was at a cost
    now trust a thing of the past, something now lost.
    I wish I could go back but things never lie
    people often do tell them but I guess to get by.
    was not trying to get over but just lost control
    and now reeling back and lost more than my soul.
    I lost my place, the man thing true and bold
    I wonder what price I paid, was my soul sold.
    it wasn't enough because pain goes deep inside
    to sell your soul my friend is not worth the ride.
    I must make amends to this to once again feel true
    I must consol the hearts that I made feel blue.
    depression sets because I feel what I have done
    won't feel happy or relieved until my day is gone.
    Just a few lines to speak what's on my heart
    feeling heavy, loaded down ready to fall apart
    my present, my past, not my future.

    Very good poem. I think there is a lesson that has been learned. Yesterday is gone now there is always the future. Whatever you have done can't be undone.

    I like it...:) and I like the message of it and the ending line.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
