Past

Your past is what makes you

Its infinite tentacles enmesh

One’s existence with no respite

If there is any Eternal Recurrence

As conceived by the moustached madman 

It certainly is the past, for it

Keeps following one till the end

It never lets you off of its hook, nor

It allows you to let it go; even if

One could escape one’s future

One could never escape the past

For it’s what makes you – you
