how do you forget the past
when it trained you how to fear
how do you change how you feel
when things don't turn out how they appear
how do you trust someone new
when the old left you scarred
how do you love someone else
when your heart has become hard
how do you start a new life, from a past you left behind
when the hurt, other peoples choices left ingrained in your mind
how do you know where you belong, or where you're supposed to be
when you can't figure out your future, because the past is all you see
how do you learn to let go and start over fresh
when your too afraid to move, afraid of another mess
how do you live, when your past keeps you tied
bound to a bleeding heart, another fearful ride
people tell you to forgive, move on, give it another try
I know they mean well, but they're not there when I cry
everyone has their own pain and things they've been through
but why it is, for some of us, to the core it sticks like glue
makes us so miserable it eats us alive
living becomes hollow and pain is how we survive

Nicely written and very raw. I hope that you can get over whatever has hurt you so deeply. Keep up the good writing; perhaps poetry will serve you as a form of release so that you can. Very nice.
