Leaving The Past Alone

Leaving The Past Alone
Written by ©Diana Jillian 12/6/13

I am guilty of falling in love with the memories

I have fallen in love with the picture and name

But not the true self of the being

That causes suffering and pain

They say a camera never tells a lie

But I beg to differ

The picture seems different

Than the mirror

But I know that when it all boils down to in the end

I will always be the same person I’ve always been

Maybe I just failed to notice the signs of others

Or there was a beauty of theirs I sought to win

But life’s too short to go chasing after others

And I will never again ever be that chaser

Instead I will try to leave you behind

Written with pencil and a big eraser
