Can’t shake the memories

of who you used to be

and all the things you once had.

You love the attention you got,

the love you once received.

It seems like every time you step up now

the enemy finds a reason to bring you back down.

Whatever God allows to happen is for your good,

for you to not take life for granted,

for you to see the blessings that are here now.

Man, it’s hard

to be in the middle of not where you once were

but not where you want to be.

How ’bout we start wanting to be right where we are.

Living in the past won’t change it.

Living in the future can’t create it.

Let your past be a lesson for you.

Don’t let it haunt you.
