No Way Back!


I thought there was no way back,
And that's something I had to find out,
Because I live only for the future,
Of that there is no doubt!
So I plodded on through life,
Just as I usually plod along,
Then something happened late one night,
And I wasn't sure if it was right, or wrong.

So I needed to find out, for me,
And decided to explore…
And though I thought there was no way back,
I now don't think it any more.
Because you see, I needed to know,
To put my own mind at rest,
So I needed to go back in time,
For me, it was merely a test!

So inside my head I popped back into the past,
To see what I could see,
And once I was there, I knew for sure,
I could rid the anger that lived in me!
But going back was so very hard,
What a can of worms there was to find,
But to rid the fears and pain in me,
I knew the past wasn't going to be very kind.

I went for a walk in the past part of my life,
To see what it was I needed to see,
And there it was, a high brick wall,
I had to smash that wall that was the fear in me!
So I beat it and beat it and beat it some more,
Until every brick was down, job done,
And I knew right there and then…
This was yet another fight I had won.

But this was the fight inside me,
The one I didn't even know was there,
It was tearing me apart, only I didn't know,
But it caused a pain in me that was unfair!
So yes, there was a way back for me,
To see and do what I needed to do,
And now I can safely say once more,
That yes, it was another trial that I came through!

So next time there's a crisis in me,
And it came from way back in the past,
I won't worry any more,
For I found that way back – at last!
But then I skipped into the present,
And laid that dragon down,
No more the fear, no more the pain,
No more the worrying frown!

***Because I Left It In The Past***
