Which to choose?

A past that gave momentary happiness and pain thereafter

Or the present brimming with joy?

Past that was chained and bound

Or unrestrained present that lets you be?

The ghosts of the past always rise;

Will they be laid to rest

Or resurrected to haunt the present and become the future?

I wonder though….

Isn’t it the past that makes the present

Or the present that undoes the past?

Whatever it may be,

Let not the darkness of the past extinguish the present glow,

Let not the soul of the past take away the life now.
