Pointers From The Past

"LEAVE THE PAST IN THE PAST"

how can we leave the past
behind us when we need it
to remind us what we know is
what it taught us the past is
what taught us how to move 
trust is a chance we take and
a sacrifice we make trust is
a mistake when what  we believed
turns out not to be what was true
we make reasonable decisions
to trust someone who has
their intentions set on 
betraying our trust
the past taught me 
how to read the room  
keep my eyes on the door
observe learn and remember
what occured before
the past has a voice
" DON"T DO THAT"
before doing something 
that will ultimately change
the course of one's life 
" YOU KNOW BETTER"
it' speaks to you to remind
you of what you should'nt do
" you seenthis before you
know what this is"
it appears to be different but
it has not changed
the past can offer us pointers
bur we cannot assume 
every memory is is pointing
in the right direction
the past can play tricks
on the mind making yesterday
look better than it was
or worse than it needed to be
not everythin I remember 
is worth remembering 
and not everything I forget
should be forgotten 
theres a thin fine line between
learning from the past
and allowing it to interfere
with the present 
ALIEN INVASION 
NINE MONTHS OF DARKNESS
JESUS IS COMING BACK
PREPARE, PREPARE
Okay! I'll rise in the morning
make my bed and prepare 
for a goodnights sleep 
all else remains to be seen
and even then
