Dealing with My Past

By: Lorinda McCall

Trapped up inside are words I never said

Feelings that I hide, and the lines that have never been read.

You can see it in my eyes

Read it on my face,

Deep inside my heart the past I can’t replace.

With memories that comes back,

They will not go away,

I want to be happy,

Today’s a brand new day.

Yesterdays are over even though the hurting is not,

I can’t forget what happened,

Because pain is what I got.

The hurt I am feeling now,

Won’t disappear overnight,

But someday, somehow,

I know that everything will be alright.
