Paralyzed By The Past

We can’t move forward until you deal with your trauma

By Ryan BurkeyPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Go ahead! Walk away like always!

Run fast and far, you fugitive!

Your demons will still give chase!

Hide, hunker down, lay low

The past, it stalks you

It’s futile to

Bury deep

Your old

Wounds
