Bigger than three
Bigger than sneaking out
Bigger than cheating
Bigger than lying
The cloth that drapes so perfectly you forget it's there
The kid so comfortably enjoying staying up past it's bedtime
The mouse running in the house and bringing others once there's no consequences.
Past
The way it creeps
Gravitating towards something you know isn't good
Keeping from achieving anything
Placing you in a confined BOX.
that one house on the street your family grew up on that just won't change!
The fly that just will NOT leave!
The food that's "at home"
Past
Not a pull not a push
Not a force not a being
It's so strong yet so weak
What is the past?
Trying to figure it out?
Can't?
Perfect!!
You passed the test!!
Really?! Or was that just the Past....
Giving disappointing results as always...
Trusting something that protected me is right!!... Right?...
The defense it brung me! The security...right?...
Then why does it hurt me sooo bad?
Why does the very thing that helped me hurt so bad?
Past? What is it?! Why can't the 'T' turn into 'S' so I can move Pass it!?
