memory lane

remembering my past brings so much confusion and pain,
that's the one thing i hate to do, is go down memory lane,
the hurt makes me break down and cry,
all of the distrust, all of the lies,
i've just had enough!
life shouldn't be this tough,

there is nothing anyone can do about the past,
and i know the pain wont last,
but it's just so hard to deal with,
so hard to go through,
i used to think happiness was a myth,
until i figured out what i needed to do,

i got away from the abuse and neglect,
i honestly didn't know what to expect,
a new city, new friends,
the day i moved, the abuse came to an abrupt end.
overall i am happy and free of pain,
my only problem is going down memory lane.
