Standing In the Past

standing in the past 
time past while it write alot on the wall of events 
events speaks what the time says 
now i see this circumstances of life around me 
some i fear some i face so brave 
but the past still get it way around today 
why i cant do with out the past when it event still recalls 

standing in the past 
enemies every where i see 
trying to bring up my past 
trying to sit me down while i raise 
showing me all i was wrong in 
never they show my good
is like a hole is dig for me to fall in 
while i keep up with my reality 
the shadows of the past still hurt me today

standing in the past 
i promise to move on 
i promise to move ahead 
it is not a crime for my mind to be made up 
beyound this level they want me to be 
it been so long way till i got here 
so i cant just dwell in this past times 

standing in the past 
through the past 
alot i see
alot i fear 
alot makes me brave to move on 
i cant just be here 
runing around my past 
i just saw alot await me 
i can see alot ahead of me while 
standing in the past

A lovely profound message behind this, Richard. Could do with some more consideration of flow.
