Moving On

I haven’t had much to say;
Others’ words are a high price to pay
Changing isn’t all that hard
Fading memories of a haunted past
Are finally letting go
The pain is healing slow,
Finally it’s easier to live
Knowing that you’ll forgive

Now there’s a reason
To leave behind all the scars
There’s comfort in how
My mind‘s reopening and
The agony has held me back too long

Memories last forever;
Bad ones are all I have
This is the time where
I decide to let them go
And make new ones

Now’s the time to
Become who I’m going to be
Leaving behind all that’s happened
Fear has flowed through my veins
Keeping me away from where I’m supposed to be

A blackout of my younger life
Is what I need for moving on;
A time for making new friends
And strengthening the old ones
Will get me through this

It’s hard to understand
If you haven’t walked this path
Maybe you feel the same

Now there’s a reason
To leave behind all the scars;
The strange way things happen
Isn’t all that strange
And you only learn
What you really want to

Now’s the time to
Become who I’m going to be
Leaving behind all that’s happened
Is only the next step to moving on.
