The Past
Series: Fragments of my mind
2 March 2022, After midnight
The past
Can’t change who you are.
They mock; they shout
They tell you that
***
You!
***
Can’t change who you are.
Born with all those scars;
Born with all those marks
***
Yet you
***
Don’t listen.
Just quicken the pace
And drown out the craze
***
And you
***
Can change.
Just find your way
Get out of the maze.
***
Yet I
***
Still wonder
If I found my way through
After all these years
***
As I
***
Still feel
The past;
It lingers in my blood.

Cool poem Cyrus ❤️❤️ - Keep up the great work!
Wow, incredible poem! Congrats on Top Story!🥳🥳🥳
I like how this beautifully captures the resilience and determination to overcome the past. It's inspiring how it emphasizes the power to change despite scars and marks.
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
I can relate in a very heartful way. Remember, your past does not make you a bad person. I love the expression of feelings that you have used in your poem.
Dazzling job! Keep up the outstanding work—congrats!
Powerful piece. Congrats on the TS.
Whoaaa, this was so freaking powerful! I loved your poem!
Very well done and clever piece. Excellent work as always!
Marvelously introspective, rebellious & evocative. Your blending of "my", "your", & "our" is powerful.
Wow, this was very powerful to read.
Very cleverly written and like the optimism of the first half and the contemplation of self and the past it leads into 🤍
Writer's Notes: The "O" "U" and "R" are supposed to be lined up beneath "Y" in the original variation.
