My Past Won'T Be My Present

What have I become?
Am I just another guy you want to get revenge on?
Time goes too slow and I hope you know I won't look back at my past any more.
If you want to forgive me or just keep your hatred bottled up, go right ahead.
I'm ready for anything.
At least that's what I thought before you came into my life.
To tell you the truth,
I hate fighting like this.
We aren't a bunch of baby cubs anymore.
We can make our own decisions without being led on!
No more being held back by dreams!
If you want to hit me go right ahead!
I definitely won't strike back.
My past is my past and it won't interfere with my present or future!

Stunning affirmation of not being held back by your past John, I really enjoyed reading it tonight :)
