Past Shadow

I was haunted by the shadow of the past

I was here and there it is

In my head

I can’t either run or get away from it

I was haunted by unspoken words

Unfinished affairs and action

I was haunted by unanswerable questions

I was haunted by myself

Trying to safe me

Or bring my past back

I was haunted by my past self

To be more open,

To be honest,

To be kinder

To find me

To be more 'human'

I must learn from it

I can’t repeat what I had done

I must bettering myself

I don’t want to be haunted by that shadow anymore

That’s what I say to myself

But one thing to remember,

Action needs to be taken
