Limited Evolution

I, an evolution, from beginning to end;
always adapting, becoming,
hopefully better than my past.

New people, places, experiences shaping me;
changing ideas and opinions,
all that define me.

Looking ahead and burdened with certain knowledge;
that my journey, thou, far from over,
is hidden by yesterday,

The consequences of my history;
forever hide the future,
and limit my evolution.
