The paths we have treaded

Awareness, Poetry, prompts

A single line prompt for this week –

The only ghost that scares is a past version of you.

➰➰➰

No one said that loving was easy
No one ever said life and living were easy
The journey is convoluted 
It’s riddled with traps
A one-way ticket that has no returns 
So what scares me is to relieve the past
To face the challenges I have already conquered 
To relive the trials and tribulations of yesterday 
And worst of all to face the past version of you
You…
Who has evolved with me 
You who have changed and mellowed 
You, now a person I’m proud of now
I dare to go into a future yet unknown 
Than to return a past that I have already traveled

➰➰➰

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  15. The past may hold good memories but the bad once come with it too… a future may hold pleasures much greater than anything in your yesterdays…. this poem is right on, don’t dwell in the past, dive into the future!
