In this empty frame I see shame.
I see a dark haunting unwelcomed past.
But then I realized something,
There is no such thing as past,
Since it's always there with us.
No matter where we go,
Past will always exist within us
And haunt us to death and beyond
Forever and ever after all eternity.

i wrote it at summer poetry club when we had to look at this empty frame and write what we see.
