why can i not move on from this?
why am i forever stuck in one moment?

i put my feet forward.
i try every single day
and still i'm moving backwards

they say the past is the past
but the past is also my future

ghosts haunt me in the day
and stalk my dreams at night
there is no cure to this.

i am sick. sick in the mind.
sick in all i have done.

perhaps one day i can be free
without your ball and chain
but for today, i am your prisoner

a slave to the past
a waste of a life.
