Past Poem by Mereia Namatua

I have walked the long walk
I have stumble and fall
Midway I looked back
And then it hits me like a slap

The sting nearly made me cry
But I hold it together and let it fry
Inside me until it is burnt
And never again it shall be unearthed

I know the problems and I have learnt from it
Never again shall I let it intimidate me
I shall never make the same mistake twice
For the snake will bit me if I made it thrice

So now I forget the past and look forward to the present
But history my name it bellows and beckons
How can I ever forget you my past?
For you always haunt me with your lust
