Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our [feedback guide](https://new.reddit.com/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques), or look 

I love this! I feel like I can really relate to the ashamed of the past, scared of the future idea, maybe everybody can tbh. This flows really well which gives me a good vibe as I;m reading it, I feel drawn in.

I'm ashamed of my past, i am hiding scars i got,

I'm afraid of the future, but then again, who's not.

I will always remember, when i feel utterly dried,

Last words you told me, just before you died:


"If you want to live at last,

blur the future, burn the past,

If you want to live at last,

there's life, and it is vast."

Blur and Burn
