Rearview

My entire life is weighed by a moment
the moment that will always be remembered 
where life has taken a turn
now there is no way to go back
 Only looking at life from my rear view
moments gone by
time that can never be recaptured 
 Judged by a moment
but there so much life to live
the future has yet to be written
though a moment from my past is all you see
 Mistakes happen to all
look within them and see
events of shame
buried away 
a moment never meant to be known
