In my life I have always had to look forward.
Never had the chance to heal my woes.
Time passes but I leave behind lots.
Yet, I feel what lurks behind as it alters my behaviours.
My emotions in public are stolid,
My face somewhat blank,
Wearing the mask that I have to use.
Despair is behind me from my past, yet I will not look behind to see it.
I have to continue to look forward as life stops for no one.
Every time I want to look back, I get a feeling of panic,
Panic that rocks my joints and roots me to the spot.
I know you can not heal without addressing the past,
But life keeps moving, and we will all perish in the end
No matter what heavy burden we carry.
