ghosts

I keep thinking of placing my efforts into other endeavors but then I remember that there isn’t much time left to play with ghosts. He told me I couldn’t think clearly because the thoughts were too heavy and I was carrying too much of the past with me in my pockets. Even if I wanted to turn back the paths have changed and there wouldn’t even be a way to get to where I have come from. I have to stop thinking in the past tense, “should have.” There is no way to do now what I should have done then.
