Stick to what you know

Don't forget
the experience___
gained over a lifetime,
can't let one's self
slip back into old patterns
that were eliminated___
due to growth past
the mindset it took to exist,
so experiencing it again___
feels like sandpaper to the mind,
because it only occurs in
moments that feel like missteps,
since thru experience
we change___
in a way that sticks, so we
don't
step backwards.
