The past still lingers, a ghost in my mind,
Whispers of moments I’ve left behind.
The weight of regret, the sting of the pain,
Like shadows that follow in sorrowful rain.
I’ve held onto heartache, worn it like chains,
Replaying old stories, reliving the stains.
But life is too fleeting to dwell on the past,
It’s time to release it—time to outlast.
The wounds that once cut me, the tears that were shed,
No longer define me, they’re lessons instead.
For every betrayal, for every goodbye,
I gather my strength and lift my head high.
No more resentment, no more despair,
I’m clearing my soul, I’m breathing new air.
Like leaves in the wind, I let sorrow drift,
And open my heart to a world that will lift.
The road may be rocky, uncertain, unclear,
But freedom is waiting beyond all my fear.
I choose to move forward, I choose to be free,
No longer a prisoner of what used to be.
So here’s to new journeys, to laughter, to light,
To leaving behind what no longer feels right.
With hope in my pocket and dreams set to grow,
I walk toward tomorrow—I let the past go.
