my past

my past I often sheathed my emotions never truly breathe hiding behind a mask so neat but deep inside my heart did beat I held on to pain and fear trapped in memories also dear haunted by mistakes and regret hoping to soon forget I search for answers for answers far and wide to find the peace I couldn't hide and through the trials and all the strife I discovered a new way of life now I live in a different way not afraid to seize the day my past may have caused me pain now I stand tall free from its chain
