What Was Once Poem by Tyler Burke

What was Once
Now does not contain such,
But what was Once
Leans on your past's crutch.

Look back and surely it will catch up,
Look forward and you will trip on yourself.
Look left and you won't be right,
Look right and you're left behind.

What was Once at heart was put to sleep,
Among the sands it stays and weeps.
Because what was Once a story; a newly revival
Upon my mind it lives in the great halls.

Never once shall you question yourself or regrets,
But question the truth and seek the confines of knowledge.
When the sun drops and the night catches fire,
What was Once is still your biggest admirer.
