Hindsight
Memories they haunt
Whispering in the night
Twisting my reality
The ghosts of hindsight
Innumerable mistakes
I can't seem to forget
So unable to forgive
Riddled with regret
Relentlessly self aware
Every move scrutinized
There is no escape
From the restless inner eye
Belittled by myself
Such bitter thoughts
No room for happiness
Broken and distraught
The memories they haunt
Tortured late at night
This accursed awareness
The ghosts of hindsight

Thank you ^.^ some of them just fall so neatly... I Wrote the first stanza about a week ago and couldn't get it to go anywhere... Then I just sat down and this basically wrote itself. I feel like I'm just the hand that holds the pen

Use your past to help you write but don't let it dominate you. Conquer it and rise above. Enjoyed it Esoteric.
