Where we've been might have a big affect on where we're going, and later on what we're doing.


Poem Artwork

Everybodies been somewhere
The bad places we don't want
to go back there
Things that happen in the
bad places
has a lot to do with the
smile and frown on our faces

As children some get taken
later on as adults we awaken
however forever shaken
We awake to the nightmares
caused by the monster stares
The boogieman under the bed
sometimes will continue to
follow us in our head
The devil is a good tracker
with a grim reaper backer

Some people will break away
only to return another day
Others break free to stay
enough is enough for the price
they had to pay
Before this life is done
very few find a good place
in the sun
they always stay on the run
Running from past decay
that will not go away

Yes enough is enough and it's sad that (as Thoreau said) most live lives of quiet desperation. Well penned Sir Gem.

Very true, but we must all reach a point when we stop the running and face what we spent our lives running from...

Be always safe,

Yes, sadly enough many people seem to be unable to shake free from bad memories. I only hope that psychologists will someday find a good method to make these people see that they are not to blame for what was done to them when they were children or what might continue to happen to them as adults.

Incredible! I like that you remind us that we all have choices in life - to succumb or overcome.

God bless you,
