Moving On

(May 2013)

Children running, smiling, laughing

I watch from the window trying to remember my youth

The girl who played by herself in the woods picking buttercups for her mother

I try to recall the moment I decided I was no longer worthy

To smile and laugh and run

When I decided that I was not worthy.. To breathe

Knife hitting flesh a dull kitchen knife my release

Alcohol to lips a blackout a relief

Body a toy, mind a waste

I wonder after the girl of 6 who loved to play with her toys

When did her mind turn so sour

As to hate the person within

Hiding and moving on

Healing and forgetting

Running at full speed

Falling to numbness

Rebirth of a lost soul

Pictures of my youth are vague

They are blurred images of truth

A destructive force within me

Begging to get loose

I had wished for someone different

Than the person buried in me

To free myself from my burden

Of a life lived in misery

Moving on and past it I am digging deeper now

Remembering not to forget

To love the person I am now
