The Past
The past stares at me
glaring at me seductively,
inviting me to visit,
to recount my wrongs-
to open old hurt.
Hesitantly,
not sure what to do-
if its worth all the pain and hurt
to look back into the past.
Staring at me,
it draws me in.
Struggling to escape, I turn.
I twist and slither
slipping out of Past's hands.
Pulling at me, pulling me closer to it
I kick, I hit-
anything to escape I try.
Finally free,
I run,
vowing never to return.
Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
