As stream
It trips through our mind.
Sometimes blocked,
Sometimes picking up debris
Better left behind.
How I wish to build
A dam to block the roaring waves
Which come to drown me.
I cannot run from them
I cannot escape the past
Yet I wish
I hope
I pray
That one day these waves,
They won’t drown me in my own sorrow

The author's comments:
Going through the past you see the things you'd rather forget and the things you wish you could change. I go through scrape books of my history put together by others and think that they remember my past differently. This is how I see some of my past.
