Yesterday

YESTERDAY

Yesterday
Is no more.
Can’t change the things I did.
Can’t take back my words.
No matter how many times
I try to erase
To rub out
My thoughts of
Yesterday
They are still there.
Laughing at me.
Tormenting me.
I try to stamp out
The echoes of
Yesterday
But the sounds
Only escalate
And bang on my eardrums.
I thought I changed.
I thought I was different
Than what I was
Yesterday
But it seems
I am wrong.
I still remember
Yesterday.

no..u cant change anything...as long as you dont change..
But if you truly change..then your yesterdays change with you..

Yeah, but that's what yesterdays are for, in a sense.
We have to take the lessons we learn, be it through trial and error or what have you, and internalize it. Channel it for growth. Every event in life shapes us; we have to make the best of the worst, sometimes...
Be strong, Dreamer.

I hate that feeling, the one that follows when I speak or behave in a way I thought I'd left behind. "I thought I was done talking/acting like that! I can't believe myself, what kind of person am I?!" It's a horrible feeling. :(

(((hugs)))

jewmaican - i just hate when i do something that i regret later. and then, i don't even have the courage to say "i'm sorry"
