Separate Past From Present

separate past version of self 
from present version of self
why is that so hard to achieve 
within the mind
why such a narrow view
why would one ever want to  
be forever stuck within 
the image of the past self
learn to see things as they 
are now and not how they 
used to be 
why can't the eye's be 
uncovered 
why can't the mind be 
unclouded 
why can't the present 
version of self be seen 
by your judging eyes
