When I look forward
I instantly go back
I bring to mind
All I have done
All those I hurt
All my mistakes
When I am faced
With a rock in my path
I stumble ; I almost fall
For my past
Comes running to me
It holds me prisoner
It holds me in place
Forbids me to be new
Still afraid of myself
The feelings I carry
Turn and churn
Never escape my mouth
I realize I hurt not you; but me
But here I remain, frozen.
