Locked into the past

I guess there are times when I feel I've been here before. Deja vu if you like but deeper, not just the actions or speach but the feelings and my behaviour to and whole scene repeated. Well this feeling of time repeating is part of what I'm trying to say, the other part is how it can feel when your behaviour is limited by the past by what has gone before something that you cannot escape. So

Locked into the past

You live and relive the past

it is now and yet still then
your old self, the child not grown
unaltered by time, emotions still cycling
life changes yet repeats
you echo what was

Your fear confines and defines you

a cycle created by others, maintained by you
you suffer your past and call it your present
you never move yet hate what’s around
denying the truth, you blame all but yourself
for your past that's still present
