nostalgia

when yesterday seems a whiff away
you never really leave your adoloscence
at the back of your mind.
the forefront of what plagues
your very escapism
from Life as we know it.
is really nothing like the impact of your past.
past is seldom joyous.
lessons learnt are from pain
people only learn things the hard way
or so they say.
nostalgia breathes life
and sucks away your zest for movement
all at the same time.
like the ultimate dilemma in life --
to be or not to be.
