Been sitting quieter more often.
Been daydreaming frequently.
I don’t know if it’s lies to you.
But I am sure it’s truth to me.
Been calculating less.
Focusing on what’s in front of me.
The present is not just a tense.
Concluded that’s it the only reality.
Now I have been listening to those songs.
The ones I haven’t visited for way too long.
And I have been humming the tunes.
Of old forgotten tragedies.
Does it always happen to all of us?
Ergo, it’s destined to be.
If it happens to all of us,
Then it must be real.
Let’s make it real.
It’s funny, truly, for me.
To unlock those types of memories.
I tried to command them to appear.
So, I grow up and heal,
And my problems disappear.
But when the spell was cast nothing arrived.
It was a sit-on-it kind of ritual.
Cast and forget it.
And now that I have said it.
I am being haunted.
And I am glad I caught it.
That it wasn’t mistaken as a setback.
It’s getting clearer now.
But I don’t truly care.
If it all goes away one day.
Because sooner or later it will.
For all essence.
Change is our nature.
All things have to move or they cease to exist.
It’s all arbitrary.
In the best calculated way.
It’s getting clearer now.
And I don’t want to waste that.
I should be working more.
To try and define it.
Cause knowledge and wisdom can be great.
Never without understanding.
I should be speaking less.
So, I can actually absorb it.
And if it's all a test.
I won't care if I make it.

I enjoyed your pondering here in this reflective write. It’s good to live in the present, but the past, if it’s understood can help make the future better. Thank you for sharing. Quiet times can be revealing.
Thank you dearly for your comment on my poem it means a lot to me that you read it and enjoyed it, i meant in my poem that i can live in the moment even if i am being haunted by bad memories. They don't mean that i am trapped, it means that i am finally healing ! Thanks again
I enjoyed this reflective piece of writing, it is good sometimes to look back because if we can make sense of our past we can make a better future, a lovely write
Exactly !! And it doesn't matter when you can unlock the secrets of the past, they will unreveal themselves the moment the universe declares you ready 🙂 i am so glad you read and enjoyed my poem it means the world to me
You are very welcome
Pondering and the mind wandering are part of processing and understanding and here I hear the gears of poetry grinding. Nice
Thank you for your words really ! Yes that's why we are alive in my opinion, to try and make out of everything around/within us more comprehensible
