Ghosts in this shell of a man

There are many things running through my mind right now, not the least of which are the sins of my past. Someone told me that going to Japan seemed to be a good way of atoning for those sins, I guess we will see.

Dark clouds gathered right before my journey, does that mean that the journey will be an escape from the fate that they are bringing? Or that they will follow me where ever I go? Only time will tell. How does regain the honor that they lost, twice? Or is it simply a matter of growing up and realizing that it all doesn't matter because no one is perfect, and honor is just something that people talk about.

Thought that these thoughts were behind me, but take away that bandaid and have a look to see that there is still gaping wounds that have not healed.
