A Retrospective State of Mind

A retrospective state of mind

doesn’t consider the future but only this moment in time

it gets swept up in the past and on momentary things

but neglects the joy that hope can bring

A retrospective state of mind

is determined and set out to find

something that can be gleaned from past events

something to prevent future hardships

A retrospective state of mind

in and of itself can be just fine

but coupled with a future tense

it has the power to make a lot more sense

A retrospective state of mind

contemplates on the memories that it finds

it has the power to be a strength or a weakness too

if you only allow yourself to see from the retrospective view.
