Don't Look Back

I feel this pain

It’s always in my brain

I make a mistake

And find I can’t take

It back

I’m always under attack

These memories never fade

They’re little blades

That pierce my heart

I feel like a dart

Being thrown head first

Into a brick wall

I stall

Trying to hold it together

But it doesn’t matter whether

I stay calm or inflamed

This shame still lingers

I look at my fingers

And wonder why they shake

My heart is always about to break

I wish I could just forget

Every wrong decision I’ve made

Haven’t I paid

Enough for my crimes?

I feel this shame

My life feels like a game

That will never be played

I dwell on the past

My luck won’t ever last

I wish I could make it all better

But what does it matter?

It shouldn’t be the mistakes you make

It should be how you take

Every breath

In this confusing life

Do you deal with your strife,

Or will you be like me?

And never be

Your old self again,

Or anything greater

For that matter?

Deal with your lingering pain

And everything you can’t gain

Live your life like nothing can hold you

Don’t be an old shoe

Don’t be me

Forever be

The person you’ve longed to

Through and through

Don’t do as I have done

And go have some fun

While this life is still yours.
