break away from ties of hate
must escape my yesterday
leave behind the tempting pain
move on and try to live today
picking scabs from yester-years
relive the doubts, relive the fears
remember all the lessons
learned through stupidity
forget how foolish i must have looked
from my naivety
pinned and placed under glass
like some ugly butterfly
displayed and flayed in the halls of the past
watching (again) the old me die
break away from ties of hate
must escape my yesterday
leave behind the tempting pain
move on and try to live today
held in the past by misery
that has become so dear to me
growing old as i watch myself
grow bitter and jaded (again and again)
through repetition i will learn
the error of my ways
and if i ever return to the present
i won't repeat the mistakes i made
i've got to learn something from these re-runs
there must be some knowledge to glean
must be some reason to the tired old rhyme
of watching myself bleed
can't break away from ties of hate
i'll never escape my yesterday
finding perverse pleasure
in my age old pain
can't move on, tried for so long
for me, yesterday IS today

FANTASTIC...Cancer.....just simply FANTASTIC. can't think of another word that would suffice....and that of course is why I said it TWICE. But for emphasis...they say it three..FANTASTIC...then you will remember it.
The last line of your poem just made it all!
Stand on a bridge my dear friend, and watch which way the stream or river flows...notice..once it's gone under the bridge....it's gone....forever...try to do that with you life....but as you said, remember your mistakes and learn from them. The little kind lady that helped hide Anne Frank said this...
If you use up all your energy by remembering yesterday,.,.and worrying about tomorrow...you will have none left to enjoy the now.....the present you live today!
Good advice....
Enjoyed reading......
