Past Doesn'T Matter Anymore

It does no good dwelling on the past,
So let's focus on the future that's vast.
And don't make me remind,
Of all the mistakes I left behind.

It doesn't help to feel guilt and shame,
So forget the mistake, it's lame.
Instead remember the lesson it taught,
And the wisdom it brought. 

The past doesn't need you anymore, 
Your future self is waiting for you to adore.
So keep moving towards the goal,
And SATISFY your SOUL.
