Past

Trying to live the best life that I can and no one can say that I am not

I am going to hold on to new light, love and happiness

Letting go of all the the darkness, pain and sorrow that had invaded my very being

Moving on to bigger and better things, I can’t erase the past but only because reality won’ let me

Not that blotting it out would be easy so my time and energy would be better spent else where

And giving up would be too easy and I will never let it get that far

I have nothing to prove to anyone, and I have only myself to be true to

I have got a new lease on life, it ain’t perfect and it won’t be easy

But nothing I ever wanted to achieve would ever be handed to me

I had to fight, struggle and better myself to attain my dreams

To this day I fight for what I know is truth, what I find out of reach

I stretch out my arms reaching for new heights and never looking down

Not because I am afraid of the unimaginable heights but because I know

That which is past me is just that: past, done with… over
