Who You Are Is Where You Going

For someone to go forward,
one must travel logically, back in time.
Into memories, hidden away, aside, to deal with, 
at a point, needing to now be done, in prime.

However,difficult of which to relive, and 
see all events reacted, and coming back, to the past.
Still crucial to then realize what is, and what isn't true,
for you to not be anchored, to what has been a cast.

Because without having the outcome, in mind resolved,
there is no way to find the inner strength, you now seek.
As you face the mountains, of which you must then climb,
you be internally disable, unable to reach, your final peak.

Face to face, from within, to alleviate, the pressure, 
and divert from the path, one is not to therefore pursue.
Knowing and realizing from the journey you then been,
you are who you are, by what you had, to go through.
