Closing the book to the past

One by one
Pictures all around
Never really knowing
What it was all about

Smiling once,
now looking sad
how come it never was
but now I feel it’s bad

now the annoyances
of the past
they keep hounting me
today

they made me what I am
they made me how I care
everyone wants to know it all
but I will never share

I would want to go back
Fix everything I’m scared for now,
Fearing the way I ever felt
Just needing to let the past go

But I can’t
I am now who I think I have to be
And whatever the others say
Here I am today, and I just need to be me

Future lies ahead,
with pictures
black and red
but always in the background
the pictures of the past
these pictures
in any way
on those pictures
is me.
