Moving Away

I am living a nightmare, blackened, an ugly 
Life where not for a second can I look back
All that matters now is my future, and the past is erased
What I have done cannot be taken back, and what I will do
Has yet to be known
But I am afraid 

What I loved, taken from me, countlessly.
What I enjoyed, slain at my feet
Who I saw to be my influences, my peers, walk away into the darkness
Isolating me.
Who can i connect to?

The ones I will soon see before me stare back at my personality with closed eyes.

We cannot change the past. Going forward is our only choice. We can wollow in the past mistakes or accept that we made them pray for divine guidance and go forward. We need to tell all we hurt that we are sorry and ask forgiveness then forgive ourselves and move on. Keep writing. Sara
