The past is the future
The future is the past
I want to change
I have to change
My life has had many problems
Problems I can't handle
Life is full of so many obstacles
Obstacles that get in my way
My way may not be the right way
The right way may be wrong
Wrong turns
Dead ends
No answers
Who can I talk to
Where can I go to get away
Away from the pain
Away from the issues that are driving me insane.
This is the year for new beginnings
I did change
I had to change
Changed to find out life has obstacles
you learn from everyday.
Learning how to be
A mother
A wife
A worker
A queen,
what this world needs me to be.
My past is my future
I learn from it
My future is my past
I grow from it

Wow! This is exactly how I have been feeling lately. I love the words used here. Life is just one big rollwer coaster but mine has been going downhill for way too long. Thanks for entering
-
I can relate to this poem its an excellent poem and i like that it can fit so many people who have had these times.Your a talented writer and i wish you luck in both the contests your in.
-
I know that feeling too, as I have made many mistakes in my life, done many things or just taken the wrong step or let someone get away with something and sometimes I wish I could go back. But, at the end of the day, all I can do is move forward because if I don't, I will be living in what happened.

I loved the bit that goes 'A mother
A wife
A worker
A queen,'
A woman can indeed be all those things and more.
I am a firm believer that people should grow from their pasts, even if it causes them despair for a while. Stay strong
-
Marvelously endlessly turning in on itself. I like the way that you used indirect repetition to illustrate your approach to change. Best of luck in the contest.
-
This feels personal to me. I can totally relate. I liked the happy ending so to say. I enjoyed.
-
very good experience darling.. great job penning it out..
-
I have really felt like that. I know it can be hard to decide. you nailed it right to the point. very awesome very good.
-
Yep!
I think you nailed it. It's nice to open up and let it flow. My gut feeling is that it felt better after you finsished this one.
-
This is actually not what Im looking for but I do like the poem. I need poetry about this terrible society
-
This truly is an amazingly well written poem.
Thank you so much for entering.
And, yes, I do know what it feels like to not know which way to go. I've been there so many times. And my dear, it feels exactly the way you've described it.
The repetition in this piece reflects so greatly the sense of confusion and the sense of being lost; as if you're walking over the same path once again.
I seem to be babbaling; anyway, thank you so much for entering my contest. -
I really like the last four lines of this poem. They are in fact a very strong and powerful statement - and nothing but the truth as well. Very wise word, that's for sure
You have also managed to capture feelings that a lot of us will be able to relate to in some kind of way well written again!
