Krissy Bond Poet Lyric

Moving Beyond the Past

The burning in my soul
So hot it feels like the flames are raging 
Bitter
Anger
Rage
Cruel intent
I know the past is gone
Yet it still Fester's
Trying not to dwell
I'm being eaten alive one word at a time
Yet if you focus on pain you die 
Emotionally, Mentally, Spiritually
Old wounds decades of the past still fresh
Reached straight to my core
The poison infected now forms my soul
Ice over my heart calms my flames
Til it's almost gone
I need to let the past be so I'm not in darkness
I'm reaching for the shining light
My past moves on in my future I now dwell
