Reverent

Don't linger in the past, the future is here...

I still think of it, 

Trauma and all.

I still question it;

Too late, I recall.

The past that follows,

Memories handmade gallows.

The present that bellows,

I like to believe it to be hollow.

If I could go back to that day,

I'd prefer that it never happened.

If I could go back to that time,

I'd do it all over again.

Ne t'attarde pas dans le passé, le futur est là

Author's Note

Don't linger in the past, the future is here.

[Neha agrawal]

This poem is a **raw, haunting dance with regret and contradiction**, where the speaker wrestles with trauma’s grip—both wishing to erase it and, paradoxically, relive it. The interplay of languages (English and French) adds a layer of **existential duality**, as if the mind is torn between fleeing memory and confronting it.
