Don'T Riddle Me a Mistake

Don’t riddle me a mistake Every tomorrow brings a new day. Every new day is a continuation of the previous day. Every previous day’s problems follow on into the next day so the past should fail, to be forgotten So, it is history? but how can I explain, the past is the present. The past was yesterday but yesterday begins today. Yesterday is your life today Forgetting the past is like flouting the present if you let it go, you lose yourself. I will not let it go. I won’t be forgotten. I will not fade nor blend with the shadows. I won’t silence myself, as the wind does in summer. I deserve to be more than the present. I deserve to be remembered today for what I was yesterday So don’t riddle me a mistake I didn’t not force myself on you. I am grateful though because of you, yesterday I breathed today I am alive So don’t riddle me a mistake!
