Move On

I don’t know how to do this.

I don’t know how to move on.

I don’t know how to let the past be the past-

How to script a different melody,

Scream out a different song.

I don’t know why everyone says

Change is good.

Is it just because change

Is the only thing we know will always come?

Is it because it is the only thing

That can help us forget what we’ve done?

Is it because change keeps us from

Becoming so weighted down with regrets

That we can’t run?

Because right now I am running,

At a full-speed sprint

Through the change

That everyone says will bring a new day.

But I still don’t know how to do this.

I don’t know how to move on.

I don’t know how to let the past be the past-

How to convince myself this is all going to be okay,

How to accept that there is nothing else left to say.
