Life as it stands for me,
has been hard.
Every turn I take,
making the same mistake.
I can only blame myself,
the choices I made.
I can live in my past,
or I can face my future.
It is the future I need…
Head on
No restraints to hold me down,
just a new strategy to life.
I was a prisoner to myself,
no longer will I be its victim.
My fears and deception to myself,
were my worst enemies.
Today I set a new goal,
to embrace Him and myself.
To hold what’s left of my life,
in his hands.
Please tell me what you think

An interesting presentation. It's a point many face
on the road of life whether to adapt oneself to the future and advance or remain stagnant encumbered by past. Happy trails -
Deeply Beautiful!
This poem so beautifully portrays you! You are so candidly honest, and confronting your fears, your past and the future makes it even more beautiful....Wonderfully penned!

WOW!!! Such a heartfelt poem, that I know is flowing from your soul on every teardrop you've ever cried...I know how you feel, living those regrets night after night can add up, Sie~...
and we can either be haunted by our past or choose to make a fresh start...I love you, cuz'...

anyone who has looked back on their decisions in life can relate to this. A wonderful write. While expressing regret it also bears a hopeful light which seems quite inspired. I read the 'him' as referring to God, which gives the last stanza a strong message of hope (at least, that's how I see it)

Brilliant!!!
I love this one, as it speaks the language of honest reflection of the heart of the subject. Write on!!! Peace, Cyn

You have something here - the future is looking much brighter than the past. The past can be let go, and one can move on to better things. Liked the sentiments expressed so well in these lines, the message shared here. He does looks after things if we give Him the power todo His will. Wishing you well...

Hi Sie, It seems we suffer from the same thing, and that is if Im not mistaken is self confidence. Also having a good heart, with me I always see the best in people which leads to being used and misled. The worst part of this is the people that do this are the most trusted people in your life. My last poem I wrote deals with this same subject, called His muse. if you need to talk give me a yell............joe
