Looking back
I find it's true
I should have never
believed you
Looking back
I now have to pay
for not taking the free education
I got everyday
Looking back
I know it's true
I'd always end up
inferior to you
Looking back
I want to cry
for every word
sounds like your goodbye
Looking back
I see your resting place
how I long
to see your face
Looking back
I knew she was there
but tried my hardest
not to care
Looking back
on what you did
walking out
on your only kid
Looking back
you hurt me so much
but I stayed around
for you were my crutch
Looking back
I should have used protection
my life now ruined
just cause of one session
Looking back
why did you touch me?
Don't you know
I'm your family
Looking back
I'm tired of running
come and get me
I'll show you something
Looking back.....
now it's ok
farewell to the past
and hello to today
Author notes
I tried to make this poem for a wide audience of readers. It's about looking back on your past, and watching your memories fly by. None of the verses are connected, and each represent a hardship that may have happened in your life.
