Past, Present, and Future

I don’t like to dwell on the past.

I can’t forget very fast.

I like to stay in the present or future,

Because my future is still unsure.

The present is where I live.

Living everything that life has to give.

The future is where my life will unfold.

Unfolding everything while I grow old.

I’m not saying the past is bad.

It’s just, my past makes me sad.

Memories are very important to me.

Like the ones with friends and family.

But there are those that I want to forget,

Like the ones that I hate or regret.

Even though I don’t like to dwell,

Sad, sad memories make my eyes swell.

I need to move on and get out of the gutter,

But first I need to clear some clutter.

It’s pretty difficult when “delete” doesn’t exist.

Memories won’t “delete” no matter how much I insist.

That’s why I don’t like to dwell on the past.

For a long, long time, annoying memories last.

I’ll just stay in the present,

Where life is pretty pleasant.

Or maybe I’ll stick to the future,

Where I can at least try to make my life better.
