Stains

a past that left its mark

Stained

things I can't take back

marks left on my soul

of die long since cast

Stained

old memories

haunting my history

making me bleed

Stains

life lived fast and hard

burned out old passion

leaving it's scar

Can't shout them out

but I wouldn't want to

my past made me who I am, and not a me new

to me I guess, its how I remain true

jesserose, Sometimes we fail to remember that bouts of adversity we have gone through have changed us, in many cases yielding a better and stronger person in its wake. Looking back at the tapestry our lives have woven these bad times may look like stains but in a lot of cases they actually add vibrant color to our lives, creating a richer canvas. Very nicely done! take care...dan

That's soo true. But what really fascinates me, is that, how do you write poems in such quick succession? :)
