Beyond the Past

The past is a lesson, not a prison, The past is a mentor, not a captor. The past is a tale, not a jail, The past is a page, not a cage. The past is a foundation, not a stagnation, The past is a phase, not a maze. The past is a guide, not a slide, The past is a map, not a trap. The past is a chapter, not the answer, The past is a teacher, not a tether. The past is a story, not a worry, The past is a friend, not an end. The past is a history, not your destiny.
