Past..

It's time to take a step back
and to look at my past

To look at these chains that hold me down
and bind me here to the ground
Unable to move forward
and to break the chains
The pain and the hurt
Keeping the light at bay

Each chain is a reminder
of the past i have lived
A promise broken to me
A wish left unfulfilled
A lie told to me
My heart broken in to

Each hurt forms a new chain
Each word spoken out of anger and vain
Each thing done forms stronger links in the chain

There binding me... i feel like i can't breath
I can't live like this.. i a cage
wrapped up in chains that were made
to hold me down.

So i take a deep breath.. and let go of the pain
the hurt the sorrow trying to make it all go away
The past is the past.. it can not be changed
So why hold on to the hurt why keep myself this way?

Wish each hurt i let go.. another chink falls
to the ground with a echoing thud
shattering... setting me free link by link
as i let go of the past- moving on
No longer going to be held down in the darkness of my own mind

But out in the fields full of sunshine
With the light on my face
Dancing care free...There will be no mistake

I have learned from the past, i know what to do
And i won't let me self be chained down again
Held back, i'll dance free with the chains casted off
and laugh with a smile on my face to the sounds of the bells
As i move from the past into the future...
