History Repeats Itself (if you let it)

#1
Hey, I replied to Corvus Corax, Red Rose 1961 - 1991 and Religion and Race.

I wrote this poem the day after I wrote No More... I think its a lil more hopeful. I would appreciate any feedback you guys have to offer. I tried something a lil different for me with the rhyming so let me know what you think, thanks.


History Repeats Itself (if you let it)

I thought I'd gotten past
Learnt to live my life again
I am now reliving my past
Learnt nothing at all, alone again

Past history forming my future
Again I'm failing, running scared
Past memories haunting my future
Again, of the future I'm scared

Future happiness is to be my aim
Scared to live, but to live is my will
Future smiles, tears, fears - one aim
Scared yet determined, overcome I will

Aim high - reach out to him
Will he always be there for me?
Aim low - say goodbye to him
Will he ever truly understand me?

Thx - I guess I have my moments :D

Yup I have ways to go which is good and I consider hopeful, I hate decisions though, especially the life altering kind, anyways thanks for peeping and thanks for your feedback.

i liked it alot, how u used the same words but in different context n shit to work off the end of each bar, it was good and by explaining the concept it helped me understand it better, keep up the writin

yeah nice idea. love the use of the same words in different contexts, always better to aim high in my humble opinion!!

Yeah I'm trying to aim high you know just not quite there, guess I'm off target right now or something, I dunno. Thx very much for taking the time to read and respond, pleased you liked.

Aim high - reach out to him
Will he always be there for me?
Aim low - say goodbye to him
Will he ever truly understand me?
