are you safe
did you come up
empty handed
are you farther
now then you were
when you started
do you see now
what was stopping
progress back then
do you keep looking
back on the past
with resentment
will you become
more bitter daily
or is that done now
will there ever be
a way to change
the years before
you lose everything
when you give in
to replaying regrets
you have a new eye
in the now of it all
to accept the past
what’s done is done
what comes next
can only be better
what makes you anew
is that you were broken
to be rebuilt upon
the soul continues onward
with compassion alongside
prospects of eternal fruition
