Forgetting the Past

By Britty

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

There was a time when The world was nothing new Formats of life would change Everytime I grew I felt I could be myself And not worry of what others thought No matter how much I was angry Battles were never fought That life that I once knew I had to leave behind Forced to start all over Memories to keep in my mind I came upon a new place Where things were fairly strange And that's when I realized I'm not ready for this change But why let fear hold me back It shouldn't be that bad The only things I lost Were the greatest friends I ever had But i'm going to higher places At the lowest i've ever felt Being held back by things That need to be dealt.. With time quickly passing I have to face the facts My life would be a lot easier If i just stopped looking backLately, i've been thinking about how much my life has changed since I moved, and how I didn't mind it at first but now I really miss where I used to be...
