I Have To Let Go Of The Past!

I’m hanging on to it
I have to continue
If I let go, there will be nothing left
I have to hang on tight

I am stronger now
It is time to let go
It is time to walk away
It is time to focus on me

I give up my right to have that “name”
It now  belongs to someone else
I have to look forward to my future
I can’t look back at my past

I have to continue with my life
I have to stand tall
I have to stand on my own two feet
I have to keep my chin up

I made a mistake in my past
I will not let it ruin my future
I have been forgiven by most
I will not let the rest bring me down

I have forgiven myself for my mistakes
I have forgiven those for their faults
I can’t hold a grudge forever
I have to let go of the past

    YES !! YES, YES, YES ... LET IT GO !!
    The past haunts us like rocks dragging us down deeper into the depths of dispair. It is was causes violence, anger, hatred, disappointment, etc. The past for most has VERY BAD things & VERY GOOD things. Let the bad go, hang onto the good. Life is too short to let the ignorantness of people, society, or even your memories to get the best of you.
    WAY TO GO !!!!

    Nice poem. It's true that sometimes, if you let things go by themselves, it could go for the better.
