Stop, Wait, and Don'T Look Back,

Stop, wait, and don't look back,
Don’t worry you must know why!
It's just that I say “it is what it is”
To pause is just to want that back.

The future is all my heart craves,
A "change of the seasons" of sort.
Another lifetime to behold now,
Past is and will be forever the past

Forcing what I most want and desire,
Will be my one and only focused goal.
Leaving negativity and drama behind,
Tasks ahead will be urgently completed.

Some say the “grass is always greener”
I say “that change is forever needed” 
Time has come to let loose everything,
The chains that bind broken bring it on.

Throw at me whatever you may choose,
My mind is already set beyond content.
It doesn’t matter it never really will,
Obstacles have already been overcome.

Holding me back isn’t even your option,
Intensity and desire are focused now.
My intent is clear and is fully observed,
Emotions galore being kept all bottled up.

Knowing what is wanted surging forward,
Come along if you will it really matters not.
The future not set making it what I choose,
Door opened I pass thru forever searching!
