The Past
Just living your life-not a care in the world,
 When you were young the time hurled;
 You're minding your own business
 When your past comes upon you to rest.
 Why? When all these years you tried to forget
 Why can't you just continue the new path you've set?
 It won't let you go 
 It holds you back-keeps you feeling low,
 And just when you think it'll end 
 It pounces once again!
 It drives you crazy!
 Makes you just want to be lazy,
 Giving you a fear
 That the same thing is near.
 There's on way to get a away-
 And people keep saying,"Forgive and forget! That's the way!"
 But you've tried that and it didn't help you
 And no matter what you know the past is true!
 But you don't know why it has to keep coming back!
 Can't life just cut you some slack!
 You don't feel you can go on
 So you try hiding away until its finally gone.
