Shadow of the past

Even if I chase you a million times
Why do you come back once more?
Like how hard you try to throw far in sea
It is obvious to come back to shore.

Jubilation never follows,despair follow till last
because ause it's the shadow of your past
Even if you endeavour to run miles away
It will reach you soon some or the other day
It will burn your wounds instead of heal
Like this pain from ages I feel.

Day isn't dark but also no bright seen
I may be hidden in the clouds of haze
Everywhere blurry view no escape found
Like I'm stuck in a labyrinthine maze.
Still I'll survive and find a way till last
Even if it follows, the shadow of my past.

Every person has a bitter past which cannot be forgotten and also troubles us sometimes but all we can do is accept it and face it
