I fling my past behind me like a rose,
Worn threadbare in the seams, and out of date.
I have outgrown it.


The Collected Poems of Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1917)


I fling my past behind me like a rose, Worn threadbare in the seams, and out of date. I have outgrown it.

I fling my past behind me like a rose, Worn threadbare in the seams, and out of date. I have outgrown it.

I fling my past behind me like a rose, Worn threadbare in the seams, and out of date. I have outgrown it.

I fling my past behind me like a rose, Worn threadbare in the seams, and out of date. I have outgrown it.
