The Ghost of Yourself

It's quite mindblowing to consider how much one can haunt oneself. Poor choices can give birth to those skeletons we leave hanging next to our oldest jacket. Spirits that demand permanance, they unrelentingly forge their existence in our thoughts. Is there a solution to avoiding this planting of poisounous seeds in the garden of our minds? No. Some lessons never needed learning, yet we sat in the first row and never missed a lecture. Regret can be an everlasting red light on the road to our futures, an old elevator in a one story building. No matter how many times the clock draws that invisible circle, the ghost of yourself whispers in your head what could have been. It's not always a bad thing, sometimes that immortal cadaver taps you on the shoulder to show you how far your blistered feet have taken you. No amount of wealth or prosperity exempts us from this. Embrace your ghost, like someone from your hometown you never liked but have so much history with. An adult's imaginary friend, there is no need to fear being haunted. Open the door of your thoughts to this ghost and invite them in for tea, they're not going anywhere either way.
