Letting Go

So much for what has happened,
so much for what you experience,
If you continue to look back what will become of your future,
maybe your past may contain sorrow
at such a pace, your future will hold the same

To claim such a possibility is easy
when all you can see is despair
Forget your anger, and your  past
Look ahead at the road you need to travel
New moments and experiences, 
You never know what life has to offer

Maybe facing your fears is a good thing
The only fear you hold is your past
But now wish to conquer this fear
Letting go of the past is not easy
But looking forward to the future is

Don't let your life be controlled
From a fault that had occurred
Fears can haunt you
This hurt can kill
Cure the pain today
And let yourself free.
