Sadness reaches out to me,

To grab me with despair.  

 

She whispers old messages,

That no one really cares.

I shove her away from me,

To find a better way,

To live life in the present,

And find some peace each day.

It never is an easy thing

To put the past behind,

When surviving betrayal,

Has shattered the mind.                              

But to build a new tomorrow,                

I have to focus on the “now,”

And let some of the goodness

Settle on my brow.
