Question: Help me improve my poem!?
Prevailing Past

You compromise your strength
When you're guided by your pain
You think your scars, unique,
wounds you've not let heal
Your past a violation of
what you hold as real!.

What once was real may not be now
Still it strips you from the present,
It's your fear of loss that keeps you lost!.
Builds walls, instead of bridges!.

When you fail to see the gains
You're held hostage by your past,
distorted perception and masked reflection,
Dripping liquid gold
sticky and without acclaim
To give without regret is
like passion with compassion,
It's unique as you and as rare,as me
Here, I thought you knew the answer,
Perhaps you even failed the questionWww@QuestionHome@Com

I was intrigued up to the last 7 lines and then you lost me!.
I really like the premise of this piece a lot but I can't for the life of me figure out what the point is by the last 7 lines!. They are confusing to me!.
Perhaps you should consider re-writing those or perhaps, I just don't get it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
