The Lingering Shadows (poem)

Isn't it funny how the past,
despite being what is no longer,
has such an impact on the future?

A past filled with demons
who have all been burned away
is a shadow still cast over me.

No one notices it,
not till another points it out,
not until someone warns them.

Then the doubt is firmly planted,
and for some I become those demons
instead of the flames that burned them away.

So they leave,
and I'm left in a house of memories,
covered in the shadowy ash of the past.

-Zero
