Life as of now

Life itself is just abstract 

You have to leave the past but refer back 

to keep intact 

Every day you gain a few pieces 

to enhance your body , soul and thesis 

Seems like there's more downs than ups 

but it makes you the person you want to be

you can either indulge what this world offers 

or be your own coach , your own shot caller 

We learn such emotions like love & grief

Pain and love, Mud and glass.

Like the time I got hurt years back 

Oh man, there I go referring to the past  

I have to learn from the past 

but also burn away from my past

The future is always on its way 

so I won't be worried with that

I need to worry about right now 

because it won't come back

Wise words. Splendid read and write. Loved the rhythm and rhyme.

You have to leave the past but refer back
to keep intact - I believe this is true. It's those learning experiences that keep one from making the same mistake or those memories that touch our hearts when we are alone.

Seems there's more downs than ups - such sadness in this line - there should be more ups than downs, shouldn't there? perhaps it's just my rose tinted glasses.

I really like the message this poem sends. Learn from the past (without dwelling on the past) and rise to the future.

I like that this is a short read, packs a bit of a punch that way. A little quirky while being philosophical. Enjoyable!
