Sometimes

Sometimes we forget who we are and we need to go back to a time when we were at our prime, today is no exception. Remembering the past is never an easy task because it is always riddled with happiness, pain, anger, and regret hence when we remember who we were and where we came from we conjure up our angels thus summoning our own demons since they both follow suit whether we like it or not. Sometimes I think about when I was a child, my sense of wonder and energy were limitless and I never knew words like failure and freak which I became all to familiar with as the years carried on leaving my child-like nature in total ruin; but that is how all of our childhood ends in one form or another. Sometimes I recall a few snapshots of my halcyon days of my teenage years mostly of my taste of first love and freedom although they were not the best years of my life. A time when I survived some of the most crucial lessons life provided me even though those lessons were soon replaced with the icy reality of life outside the home. Sometimes though I think most about where I am now and where I am to go from here even though it all appears so dismal to me; but I hold on for that sunrise of tomorrow knowing it always gets better as we go. Sometimes I question if I am really human at all in such a dehumanized society. Still, sometimes its best not to recall what has come and gone but to stay focused on what has not yet happened yet for that is what is needed to create a future truly worth living for.
