Moving On

SEEING BEAUTY IN IMPERFECTION
Christina Oswald
December 06, 2013



Imperfect hollow inside no turning back
Closed door open no more
A chapter to a book hopefully forgotten
Pages yellow, tattered, and broken
An innocence and heart stolen
Time lost not to be regained
Moving on, step by step
No time or room for regret
Stronger upon each step 
Moving on is easy, but the reasons hard to forget
