-*-

I don't want to look back,

as I don't want to see

what I am leaving behind

while I try to break free.

-*-

I don't want to go back,

to the same crudity

that was part of my life

filled with impropriety.

-*-

Now, I need to forget

what I was and was not;

after all, I realize

I may have just one shot.

-*-

Now, I need to remember:

It's my choice where to steer;

I'll do my utmost

going across my frontier.
