Poem
Shutters open to catch a glimpse of the past history locked in tragedy the broken crime of time Why can't you live in the present Shutters open to catch a glimpse of the past a tragedy tapestry you weave depression from history My father said My mother did if only I had, sadness repeated forever shutters locked on yesterday twenty years have past yet everyday you relive yesterday trapped in a cycle of pain today is not yesterday yet you throw away tomorrow because, you can't let go of the past you hide in the bottle Reliving yesterdays pain Shutters locked on a glimpse of time people gone from your life why did he do that why did he hurt me why did I do that, why? why? why? yet yesterdays gone why? do you live in the past why do you let yesterday destroy today Today you could laugh and joke you could bake a Christmas pudding even though its not Christmas time you could stand up and shout this is me You could exercise to build strength you could improve you education build a career and gain respect with respect came societies approval With success comes your families approval When you combine exercise, diet, balance granted money does not build happiness but it does pay the bills I suppose the reason why people hurt you is that, people where also lost some had drug problems some had alcohol problems Some believed that violence and punishment was the way to teach discipline some people show favouritism to one child over another, some are blind to their own mistakes yet living in the past does not create solutions for your future build a dream of what you want to become to become like Evil Knievel First become a mechanic by becoming that Mechanic you earn money to buy motor bikes and fix motor bike's Then you need to develop, the courage and skills to jump motor bikes and perhaps kill yourself I'm not saying that becoming Evil Knievel is such a good idea I'm just saying you can become what you want to become if you have a dream and build a plan Shutters catch a glimpse of to past but you don't have to live in the past you want to travel to Disneyland build a career perhaps an electrician with the wages from an electrician you can save to go to Disneyland so your mummy called you stupid because you disobeyed her rules that does not mean you are stupid it just means you broke her rules don't give up because others run you down it doesn't matter what other people think your success will change their opinion.
