Memories of yesterday
Linger in my mind
Haunting me with their presence
A ghost of the past

I try to move forward
But the past holds me back
Like a shadow that won't fade
It follows me everywhere

I smile through the pain
And pretend I'm okay
But deep down I know
The past will always stay

So I embrace the memories
And learn from my mistakes
For they have shaped me
Into who I am today

The past may haunt me
But I won't let it win
I'll keep moving forward
With a smile on my face
