Behind

What does it change
now that I know?
can I go back in time?
no.
I don't have another option 
than to carry on
leaving my past behind
in that deep hole.

What does it change
now that I've grown?
I can answer my own questions
I can comfort my own soul
I can help me to see
more than I could see before
I can safe the lonely child I was
but who I'm not anymore.
