COMMON FORTUNE

memories bleed and seep into the current fabric

of our every day lives

the past builds her tender foundations through

earliest childhood on

and upon such expected terms many an individual

often heavily relies

with no recall of memory

where would one be

a singular most solitary existence

one of which from

one would seem utterly incapable to flea

family helps develop the general working

concept of just who we are

the network of one's siblings and or parents

represent a broad and colorful spectrum

of self near and afar

the hell of one's emptied mind

must be one of the worst forms of complete s

solitude one could ever imagine to feel

no recollections of previous experience to

draw upon in intense situations would be a

fer born most certainly surreal

so, be so thankful for your cachet of memories

there are reasons to why they are essential

to the well being of man

for it is easiest to plot out the rest of your

natural life

when you can look back on the entirety of the

old, well laid out plan

'The Past' such a beautiful yet wound able

word...............

how our pasts whether good or bad pretty much makes us who we are today.
