Shadows From the Past

This is a poem I wrote back in the early 1990s. It's from the point of view of a speaker trying to move on with their life after going through something tragic, but memories of the past come back to haunt them.


Shadows from the past have come back to haunt me
They flicker on the wall
They've come to remind me
Of what I used to be


Over the past year, my life's changed drastically
Since all the darkness came
A change came over me
Not who I used to be


Oh, how I wish these shadows would let me be
Don't want to remember
I'm now a whole new me
After the tragedy


Shadows from the past had come back to haunt me
They flickered on the wall
They came to remind me
Of who I used to be...
