I Guess I'm Back

I’m walking away
I was once told to let it go,

To leave things be

Let’s the past be the past

So I began to walk around with a smile

Laughing all the time

Keeping dark thoughts from my mind

Someone then asked

how I felt about the past

I said it didn’t matter, it’s gone now

They shook their head

Said I haven’t moved on

Said I was merely ignoring the bad

I did what you asked!

I moved on! I don’t think about it anymore!!

You need to akbowledge what happened

Accept it for what it is

Accept that it can not be changed

Cry if you have too

Shout if you must

Punch till you feel no pain

But in the end,

you WILL accept what happened has happened

and carry that with you

As it is part of who you are now

Only after facing it head on

Will you realize,

The only way past it,

Is the way through…
