How
I briefly glance back
But pause, looking at my past
To see the everlasting raindrops appear
Showing up in such contrast
A splattering of emotion
The not so good and not so bad
They cover the pages of my memory
In different extremes they are clad
The anger and the passion
Knocked down and up again it stood
Sadness leading to depression
Covered with an opaque hood
To never notice such was a gift to others
Going unseen, unknown, and misconceived
It made it even easier for people
They could all go on worrying for what they wanted achieved
To everything its own bane
Be it a person, idea or thing
Brought down by a simple action
A warhorse tripped by a mere string
I stayed inside my hopeless void
Not wanting a change of life
But I crawled out myself
Knowing that success came with its strife
Everyone has a past
It forms the person you are now
Your feelings, hopes, and morals
It answers simply the "how"
