The Past

“The past catches you up whether you like it or not. It could be a gift or curse; you need to let it in” These lines are from the movie, I didn’t remember the name, but these were roving inside the mind from a long time. I never understood why people are so afraid of past? I have seen people running from it and assuming it as a ghost. But that’s not true, like present and future, past is also beautiful. Sometimes I wonder, just imagine your life without any shadow of past then how could you design your present and future, I know it’s not possible. Past tells you how to laugh, how to cry, gives you wonderful moments to remember. I know this is just one way around, because I also agree with the fact that the past is not always good for everyone, some of us had a very painful memories, and we don’t wish to go through them again. Personally I believe there is nothing bad, even in the past when we had some sleepless nights, our thoughts were swaying around a corner without any virtual meaning, each breath of us were losing its existence. Even those moments had given us something to remember, something to take care in future. For me, past is just like an exercise textbook, which will help you to complete your homework for present and future. Today the idea is to salute the past that has given us a strength to stand and make our points in front of this world.

The past, I am not scared of you even I love you

When I looked in the mirror, and saw myself,

I can see your efforts in the shadow to build a new frame,

I couldn’t imagine the present and future if you would not have given the name,

The past, sometimes I am startled  how you could manage all the allegations alone,

When you cry, why it can’t be seen by everyone, why can they see only their tears?

No one cares about the reason, why it happened, what is hidden inside,

People just move on, even you gave them present and future, but they prefer to leave you behind,

The past, I feel sometimes bad for you,

Why we can’t see yours selflessness, why we want to define your destiny,

You never tried to do that for us, you kept us always free,

But we never had faith in you, we thought, we have to forget you to begin a new journey,

We have never realized that everything belongs to you, and comes from you,

So we need to accept that what we have today it’s just because of you,

The past, I know there is no way to get you back, and sometimes it’s too hard to see you going away,

But I promise, I will keep you forever and will never try to judge,

Whatever it was, I will walk without any resentment, and share everything of mine throughout all life days.
