Coming back is often hard to do
When someone loses track
They wander in circles
But rarely reach their beginning

An awful lot of willpower is required
For one to actually go back
It's embarrassing to return to a past
That was left behind so long ago

What does one do once they arrive
To the place whence they came
Do they turn back the earmarked pages of their life
Or do they open up a new chapter

I know just what your poem's talking about...it's a pain in the butt to go back, I would rather just not do it. Anyway, good job!

This was nice. The question at the end  is something you'll have to answer on yer own. You'll know what to do!

I expected a response somewhat like that.  To answer the responses, this post is not in fact about me.  Just an idea that passed through my head.  And I have to agree with Dopey_Dope.  The question is one that must be answered in private.  That's why I didn't provide one.

I always tell my friends to go forwoards...  not necessasarliy open a new chapter, but to go forwards...  we can't change the past, only the future...  starting afresh is hard but sometimes it is the best thing to do!!  Good writing and great post, looking forward to more!!

Dont believe what ur eyes r telling u they only show limitation. Look with ur understanding, find out what u already know & u will see the way to fly

Great poem here, it has gotten some really good responses.  I also think, well I know, that Dopey is right (when isn't he ) and melz has some great thoughts.  They all stole my ideas and posted them before I could!!!  It's not fair!   Ok, anyway, nice job on the poem.

wonderful ideas!!! just remember, looking to the past actually is what helps us move to the future.  We learn from our past
