Moving On
Location
Here's one from several months back:
Weighed down by the mistakes of my past
A pebble, a rock, a mountain on my shoulders
At first I ran, regrets like quicksand sucking at my feet
So strong, it's grasp on me
Until one day I had enough
Enough of what-ifs and could-have-beens
And turned to claw my way back up
Back up above the ground
Back up till I could spy the sky
Digging my fingers into the mud
I reached out an arm
Fingers outspread
Eyes wide, mouth open
I seized the blue
And began to leave the dark
