Sorrowful past
Charles Dickens 1812 ( Portsmouth) – 1870 (Gads Hill Place)
This day is the first day of my life
A day every memory comes alive
These memories are my past
The hunt from a sorrowful past
All the years past were filled with mistakes
Living in pretence no matter what it takes
The reasons for my stay have all fumble
My companionships are trouble
All my efforts and struggles have disappeared
My daydreaming has now reappeared
Never has this feeling taken whole of me
But now it's a tale that must be told by me
What do I call mine
Who do I call mine
Now I know all my wrongs
They are my past wrongs
Never will I repeat the mistakes of the past
Such a bad feeling knowing it was my sorrowful past
