Forsaken the Torture

My life in the past
is not one to be thought of
for it brings nothing but poison 
Too many things 
if discussed would cause
only despair and smoldering corrosion
I’d rather live in the here and now
embracing my new beginnings
To stay where it’s warm
no longer torn
freely capable to thrive and prosper
