Going forward is
as natural as
being human,
and feeling the life now
and looking to
the road that wides ahead
to the horizon.
Going backwards
is awkward
and can lead
to a fall,
a tripping over
one’s self
and the memories
that hold you down;
unless, of course, you
turn full around and
only look back,
only see the
pain that is behind.
