Sometimes I wonder why I can't move on
From thoughts and feelings weighing down my mind.
I wish I could cast off this awful weight
So I can plan my future and be free.
Perhaps I need to find another path
A different trek so I can start again.
With choices made that keep my mind at peace
Instead of dread that I can't disconnect.
Our inner turmoil locks us in our past
Yet, we're the only ones who can remove.
The strings we weave that then become our ropes
That tie us up preventing our release.
So, as I sit and contemplate my way
If I forgive myself, and then stay true.
Believe I can indeed remove my chains
And never let them weigh me down again.
