Highwave Brian Poet Rhyme

Go Away Yesterday

Drunk on emotions she wandered,
through forests of anguish and pondered,
vile, those years squandered;
                    go away yesterday.

Breathless she runs through life,
tumbling in rivers of strife,
memories like a cutting knife;
                    go away yesterday.

"Meadows are easily forsaken" says she,
"when beasts of regret roam free,"
"slay them that I may live peaceably";
                    go away yesterday.

Alas, she wanders still,
round each bend looms anxieties hill,
her destiny guided by will;
                    go away yesterday.

James Inman May 19, 2018 at 8:02 AM Your last stanza leaves me feeling her inability to overcome her past but hints at the possibility of deeper emotional issues. Highwave Brian May 19, 2018 at 11:37 PM Indeed, but her will to overcome pushes her forward...perhaps then therein lies hope. Thanks for the thoughts!
