Frozen In Past

Crucial change of thoughts seems undesired
Persistent self-indulgence thrives
Pleads for reason lay in dust
And heart still needs mending!
Circumstance impel
Frozen in past
Must let go
Escape
Trap!

~*~

Note: Let the past go to embrace the best that this time has to offer.  My prayers 
are always for you.

Say, this is very nice, but are you sure it is tanka? To me it looks like that nonet(?) type of poetry. GOod note you left on letting go of the past!
