Self pity

Daniel

It is easy just to remember the pain


To look back and see only  struggle


Are we only defined by our fights


The physical mental and emotional


Or are they just an anchor


To keep us moored in our sorrow

        "Are they just an anchor
        To keep us moored in our sorrow?!"

        PD James is a writer and woman I greatly respect and admire.I think she has answered to your question.

        "Man is diminished if he lives without knowledge of his past;without hope of a future he becomes a beast". Or a Corpse,I would add...

                HI DANIEL ~ Sometimes when we look back ~ We only remember the rack ~ Where we were stretched again and again ~ W e only remember the pain ! Where there any good days ~ When we were happy fancy free ? I don't know but my mind don't show that any happened to me ! Thanks for sharin' BRIAN
