3 Squared

32's not one to remember 
But know we lest forget
When all that's left is to surrender
Move past, look back, feel no regret 

Years come and go with many mistakes 
Too many to hold count
In this motion picture there's no re-takes 
Could have used an endless amount

When stripped back to beams and studs 
Left only is the meaning
Won't wash away with soap and suds 
Will remain despite heavy cleaning

The footprints that result my movement
Should never have existed 
Begging for help and some improvement 
Lost hope when spirit was twisted

So here's to this year, the 33rd
Lets hope that it makes history
In whispers I have always heard
What lies ahead is left to mystery

Wow amazing write! We dont get a second chance that's right, sometimes I feel like our life starts at the trunk of a tree and as we grow we have branch off to anywhere. All we can do is look to the future and put our best foot forward. We cant grow backwards after all ;) love your work, gonna have a look at some others now~ best wishes TFOTS

Good work. I wonder the meaning of the title "3 Squared" ... though ;)

I know it doesn't actually make sense to other ppl because 3 to the power of 2 (squared ) equals 9. But in my head I was translating it as doubling the 3 to make it 33. I wrote that poem on my 33rd birthday.
