I exist within this cloud of darkness
I have to keep my mind busy to stay sane
My past comes back to haunt me
The darkness brings the pain
The darkness surrounds me, but I push it apart
If I didn’t keep pushing
It would rip out my heart
To truly look at darkness
To truly look at pain
This would completely destroy me
Make me insane
I do not want to be haunted by the past
So I keep moving forward
I continue on
If I look too closely at the darkness
All that’s left of me will be gone
Marvelous

Wonderful piece of work. The past is gone though and can’t be changed.Leave it there, move on, live in each moment. Know that there were lessons there to be learnt. Know that you are still amazing and your very existence is a miracle. Find the self love and you will find the light. Life is for living and experiencing not for regretting. Accept your past, forgive yourself and others for the past then close that door knowing you have learnt from it.

My past isn’t filled with darkness,
Indeed it was filled with light.
Then the hell am I so different,
and why is there darkness inside?

I don’t have an answer for that, but you should find and do things that make you happy – that is a start 😊

The darkness is you as much as the light. Your past is your origin story. It either makes you or breaks you, but leaving it in the past is a good way to be destroyed by it.

this is true, that is why I take steps, then take steps back, forward and back, it is a process of acceptance, I will continue as best I can
