Lessons

Drowning in a flood of memories

My attempts at forgetting are in vain

The past is closing in on me

As the scenes play across my brain

Shutting them out is useless

It's like locking them inside

There's people laughing and pointing

All the while I cried

My parents screaming and shouting

As the memories remind me

There's no escape route from it

And I dare not try to flee

I stand there defenseless

As they slow fade away

The past is merely lessons

Forming who I am today

How beautuful!
Past are the colours,that float in the lake of mind,which we call memories.As u know in water,colours can't last long.So in our mind it fades away.Chase u cant find it.look,its gone. "they slow fade away"
But though the memories gone ,u still remain,clean and fresh.
Look, that's ur true identity.That purity is you.
Memeories they play around in the whirlpool of mind.Cant trust them always:)
so dont be sad,if ur past has given u sth harsh.
go on with life.>>>
