Moving on


I hold on to pain From which nothing is gained Remembering times When I was trampled down Down into the ground Beneath the soil where the bugs lay Instead of rot, I sought reality Earth gives life to the mind and body Earth helped revive me However, it cannot remove memories Memories which remain and fester in my mind What an endless bind How can I let go of anger and sorrow? After all, Who knows if anyone has changed But does that matter? One must move on for themselves and be non-dependent on ideas Ideas of others changing The time has come to grow I've learned now, 'you reap what you sow' Must accept my consequences For I am not innocent Far from it

Writing is one of the wonderful ways of expression. Only some of my impactful experiences have been written. Longing to find others who understand my thought, its natural!
