Does your past bother you?

Does your past bother you?

I have written about many things since I have begun writing. This poem should be important to all of us, because it shows how easily we can lose what is important to us if we are not careful.

My Past

I journeyed to the other side of the fence
And realized I didn’t like it,
I’m unable to go back where I belong.
I miss everything I took for granted;
Friends, family, and husband.
Don’t come to this side.
If life is not good now,
Don’t give up hope.
Stay with those who love you,
Stay happy and content.
Don’t leave your side of the fence.

Write about a tense time at camp.

The Ride

When I was at a camp and riding in a suburban with some of my friends, I realized there was a great deal of tension in the air. It was probably because of the rainy weather we were having. The tension was bothering me. I decided to write about it.

There’s tension in the air,
It grows stronger every minute.
It’s starting to strangle me.
People have been together
For too long.
I wish it would stop,
It is going to
Make me go insane.

I am almost there!!!
I will leave the vehicle
Before I go insane.
