Shadows of the Past

Yesterday's imperfections.
Your failures, your flaws.
Back to haunt you
day after day.

No escaping what
you have done.
No one will
let you forget.

Hostile/toxic.
A wasteland where
you cannot hope
to build a new reputaion.

You plant the seeds
but nothing grows.
Your sun eclipsed by
the shadows of the past.

In the twilight
of your mistakes,
The shadows stretch
across time and space.

You lie awake at night,
memories revisited in dream.
A nightmare forever stuck
on replay, again and again.

You think your free?
Your a slave, Blinded
and binded in the chains
of your past and regrets.

You struggle to get free,
To begin a new, but your
ray of hope is eclipsed by
the shadows of the past.
