As we move ahead in life
Striving for the very best
Sometimes a steep climb
And going against waves
But in the ruthless pursuit
Ever so often leave behind
Countless discarded relics
Once their purpose served
And we just make it a point
To not ever look back to see
The muddy trail of our path
Try wash off its messy trace
No matter how much one tries
To repress the vivid memories
Past resurfaces in odd corners
Reminding us who we truly are
Stains, splashes and splatters
Are what defines our character
More we embrace what we hide
We earn the harmony of present
