Past

I scroll up,

And reach farther down,

Where the past remains

Frozen in time.


The air feels heavier,

Heart beats a bit slower,

I want to peel my eyes off

But I press on-


Scrolling up still-

As the past unfolds,

Replaying old memories,

Digging up my very core-


I stop-

I realize I've stopped breathing;

Should I scroll farther,

I knew something would shatter inside-


And so I stop-

Hearing my own voice,

Whispering:

You don't belong there anymore.


Live in the present.
