Reaching Forward

The past is past
but I look at it,
study it, glean tidbits.
A wise woman tells me
pneumonia often implies
extreme guilt, and we ponder
the meaning when I was a child.
And what have I sought
my whole life long?
Why did I turn to food
as my source of solace?
How have I chained my spirit?
How do I learn to loosen the fetters now?
I look at the past, examine the present,
and ponder how best to change
for the future as I better the future.
