delusions of a past i see, always came back and haunted me

so i decided to ask them to hang around, until i could sort out

what was lost and what was found

so i poured over my back pages looking for a theme and what i found

was unnerving to me

seems fear had played the greater part of my life and now i want to be released

acknowledging my past and making peace

accepting what i have done and blaming no one

so my past was merely looking for recognition, had no interest in dominating my days

now i can look back and talk to him and he keeps me from making the same old mistakes

so the delusions that he was a monster turned out to be in my head

i no longer have to fear him, i refer to him as friend

own it
