Sudden Death
My future is right before me,
but my past refuses to rest in its shallow grave,
the grave I dug trying to be brave,
trying to show life that I can move on,
and yes, on I moved,
but my past deep enough I didn't move,
now it killed my future,
it died a sudden death,
because I refused to take heed,
when it was all before me to read,
that nature cannot be tamed,
just as old habits cannot be chained,
but deserve only to be killed.
