"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present." --Marcus Aurelius


the past collapses
and creates a cold creature
bright, bitter and old

&quot;The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.&quot;<br /> &mdash;Apple&rsquo;s &ldquo;Think Different&rdquo; commercial, 1997<br /> &ldquo;Crazy people are considered mad by the rest of the society only because their intelligence isn&#039;t understood.&rdquo; <br /> ― Weihui Zhou

When you let remorse and bitterness, along with the unwillingness to forgive old accidents or fights and etc, you do become a bitter person. And you build walls that retain you from proceeding with the future. Excellent poem with, as Chris said, a "heartfelt" message. It definitely makes the reader meditate about his/her life and whether or not they have those stored emotions within them.

Stunning imagery and a true heartfelt message. Great job with this piece.
