My Way From The Past... Poem by delissa nobriga

Slowly as my past creeps into my present
Sneaking its way by
It slowly becomes a shadow stuck to me
As it follows my every move
It stops me from who I am to who I once was
It begins to break its way into me
As thus it take's over my future
With only a small hope lying within me
I attempt to run away
But there's no way to hide from it
Its already in me
It strangles me with a leash
Choking me with no air
It lures me towards my path, which now leads me
Where there is no way out
But the only thing I can do
Is accept it & have no regret
Because if not, it will take over
And become who I am
It will make me of what it is
So I will lead my way to no regrets
As I go towards the path of exceptence
