a new beginning

Here I stand

I can't look back, never again

The past is the past, gone forever

I refuse to think about it

It’s too painful; too wonderful

Too overwhelming

I shake my head

I can't think of that now

I must look forward

But looking forward is scary

Painful. Wonderful. Overwhelming.

But I must take a look at the future

The new beginning

I left my head up

Unafraid. Prepared. Ready.

Ready to start again

I walk forward

Growing more confident with each step

I can do this, no problem

I walk on, away from the past

And into the new beginning!
