Moving On


Sometimes it's easier said than done

To go forth, 

  and let go of someone

No one likes to talk

  about the progress

The push to wake up everyday

  amidst all the stress

It's not something to be hastened, 

 like the blink of an eye. 

It doesn't happen quickly

 like a rocket launched in the sky

But one day, something,

  someone will find you

And you'll find that push

  that drive... to continue

After that day, you'll find 

  it easier to breathe

As if a weight is lifting

  and you have the will to proceed

You will finally see, the momentum

  was always there

You become free, and YOU again

  At last, you take in a deep breath of fresh air
