Absolution

Will I never be free of the mistakes I have made? Will I always be reminded, of what I have done? There are a range of things that people know i have done, my not so proud moments you know? I know we all have them and what's worse is that there are people who remember them and the worst part is they can bring it up whenever they feel like it, which is usually at the most worst times. I just have to ask, "Why?" Why can't the past just stayed buried? Do I have to keep reliving all of it just so I don;t forget my own stupidity? I know what I have done and I am the one who has to live with it everyday so why is it so many people must know and remember? Why do I have to keep suffering for what I did when I have learned my lesson? What's more, why did they have to bring it up?

I've got some imperfections
But how can you collect them all
And throw them in my face?
