Told to let go of the past,

Of this for myself in this life to last,

I must shed like a snakes skin this cast,

I have tried quite hard but it is not happening too fast…

Scared & stressed about my future,

I see others working & it ticks me off,

I let a job fire me, so I could rest & relax,

Now I’ve learned my lesson & still I have to pay a tax…

So how does one let of the past go,

How does one get past it all and grow,

Still I have feelings within of woe,

When will God answer my prayers & on me bestow,

No remembrance of past deeds so vile & inapropos…
