Writing Over My Past

Folder: 
On Poetry

My past is permanent;
I can regret it,
but it remains unchanged.

It is written in pen
with smudges and bleeding ink.

I can only
blot out the mistakes,
but the scars still linger.

The past is not marked by pencil~
easily erased
by the dust of time...

that is, unless
the memories fade...

and I’m left with
a blank sheet on which
to rewrite history.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: Life is like writing with a pen. You can cross out your past but you cannot erase it.
