Poetry from the Heart - My Past vs My Future

My Past vs My Future

I can never be the man I want to be
Because I can't let go of the man I once was
What is it going to take for me to live out my true destiny
Instead of being society's actor waiting for an applause
What I do know, is that I'm fighting a battle internally
The past versus the future, but neither one wish to withdraws
I have to decide because time is not going to wait on me
But its so much harder than choosing between straws
Never imagined I would be loved by so many
Sometimes I have to sit down and just pause
My mother raised me to practice and show humility
Yet people still find ways to love me despite my own flaws
But I've hurt a lot that have loved me and thats me speaking truthfully
Rendered pain that could equate that of ten lions paws
I guess its the Leo trait I possess deep down inside of me
But I've decided not to hurt no more: I need to stop breaking love's laws
So what will be the outcome
Guess I'll know when I overcome
Overcome what you may ask
The demons of my past that lingers in my mind
And the thoughts of my future that needs to marinate within time
That is my new task
