New Perspective

A new chapter to begin
while the rest is left to burn
finding the strength from deep within
to reach the point of no return

There is no looking behind
just ahead for what's in store
to past failures I will be blind
to future success an open door

Blocking out previous pains
replacing darkness with the light
anticipating future gains
all my wrongs transformed to right

Remembering this new objective
drawing from it inspiration
forgetting my previous perspective 
savoring my acknowledged salvation
