Repeating the same Mistakes

I gathered my stray thoughts, plucked them all,

from the cloud above my soul..

Cloud that is dark and brooding all over me,

Threatening rain,

Again and Again...

I talk to my mind, wanting to know,

why do you burden me so?

I decided it was time to pull out the ghost of my past,

haunting my today, with scary cast,

Making me suspicious and slow,

frightened of all I don't know...

Past looked at me with sad eyes,

flinching at the anger in my voice,

Waiting for me to understand..

I belonged to someone,

Now that is all gone..

but past is still there,

where I use to stand...

I can see, A never ending circle,

bringing us back,

to where we began,

given the chance to change...

Instead of scolding, I gave myself a hug,

A voice deep down

screaming the same,

For the life sake,

let’s not repeat the same mistake...
