History

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

History can be a mystery
It can be what defines us
Or it can be what we try 
To hide when we look at
Our lives and we realize
Our history makes up a 
Little more of us than we
Would like to pretend but
Ultimately you have to 
Accept your history so
It wont be a mystery and
You can move forward 
With clarity in your 
Life and understanding
That your journey is 
Not as confusing or 
As complicated as
We make it out

true words my friend...I am a parentless lady that was raised by grandparents
my only world was my grandfather Poppy...he passed was I was only 14
my grandmother did not want to raise me...and it showed
I was not a troubled teen- didn't drink , smoke ect....I studied till no end
this past I will hold in my memories...and raise my daughters with all my light and dignity
whoa that was a lot of thought...what a write
thank you for sharing

I am glad could find some relevance in your life as well.
Such truth in these words. We need to embrace our past so we can continue out journey of self-discovery through life. While also looking forward to what the future holds :)

I loved the way you write, so clear and in the same time with much symbolic inside lines! history of humans and of each person is already part of him, the same and future, but in "history", not like in "past" there is stamp of unique events, which never happen...And past is just a flowing line to the future...in this poem we can see that each moment is so precious for us! and never to lose it, to keep our real face.
wonderful verses, dear friend!
