Hoping For a Better Past

A lifetime of dreams, failures and successes Agonizing energy spent Looking in past failure's 'rear view mirror' Failures following, looming larger and larger, Encompassing all of me I am wishing...hoping... for a better past. The present moment, the key to my future, Consumed, as I grieve my 'loss of dreams', Thoughts focus on past failure’s 'rear view mirror', The past, forever evolving into nothingness, Encompassing all of me I am wishing...hoping...for a better past. FEAR, is only "Fantasized Events Appearing Real” However, difficult to remember, Each fearful thought, I ask, "Is it true?" Freedom, from fearful thoughts…how liberating As I disappear into the 'rear view mirror' Less and less of me exists in the present moment I am wishing...hoping...for a better past.
