Down

I walk along sometimes looking up and not down
But I’ve had enough of looking low to the ground
For each step is by myself - alone and sad
Thinking of the good and sometimes stuck on the bad

Could there be a sweep to clean
To take away what I find as obscene 
And so when the past rises up again
The hurt and pain will fail in the end.
