The Journey Forward

It's not the nicest poem I have ever written, but sometimes, these poems are necessary and I'm sure other people have felt this way too.

I refuse to look back
I refuse to turn back around
Because each time I do
I end up flat on the ground

Picking up the shattered pieces
Of all I dedicated to you
As I missed out on opportunities
Where I could've found something true

So I head forward on this journey
Seeking out the new that is ahead
As the pain and suffering will fade
And more joy will be found instead

The sun will begin to move about
From its place behind the clouds
And the shining faces will soon appear
From amongs the crowds

All the effort, all the care
That I once had given to you
Will be given to someone, anyone
Who treats me better than you do

It would be different if we had found
That commonplace could not be found
Yet you hit my like a dump truck
Left for dead flat on the ground

Yet, I can make it through this
Yes, I can put the pieces back in place
And soon this bitter taste in my mouth
Will sweetness soon replace

There were no limits to my heart and soul
That I gave you on a dish
Yet I guess that was not enough
And thus, I shall continue, since that's your wish

I head now to the sunny places ahead
With flowers, beautiful mountains and trees
As the past will be put behind me
And the beautiful future is all I will see
