I have long faded away
From my weakness and failures
I have given much thought
That to be rejected is not
To be ashamed of.

Yesterday is a record of what is there to see
To feel, to remember and perhaps
Relive once in a while
But it shouldn't be
For feeling sorry for yourself
Rather a guide
that leads you not to stumble again.

Tomorrow is a gleam of hope
Of a light that leads us to a better love
A brighter future, full of hope
Full of happiness and joy.

I am saying goodbye to my past
Not because it isn't worth remembering
It's just that the future is:
Worth more
Attention and thinking

A new life in the making.
