Moving On
Like a lizard ditching its tail,
I unknowingly shed parts of me
so I could escape your claws.
As I look into myself,
searching for the pieces I've lost,
you dig the remnants out from under your fingernails.
I want them back
But now I must build a new me
upon the foundation of what's left.
The departure from my past potential
to grow into the man I might have become
into the man I can now become
creates disharmony within me,
a bitter hopelessness,
as I have to reacquaint myself
both with my new self and my new future.
Resentfully displaced,
I must now make the best
of my new condition;
I try to find peace along the way
as my journey continues on.

-i really relate to this piece....especially the finding peace part. it's usually the hardest part.
@shatterFocus - I hate how elusive it can be at times...
Nicely put. Hm, God is good, so the new future is always good, and often better than the old... the transition is challenging though for sure...
@SUPAHeARt - this is true...
Very nice, msimotion
this was beautiful, and illustrated the letting go and moving on process so well. :)
@OhItWontBeForever - thank you :)
i absolutely love this...i def can say i understand it all...i feel like i've moved on but i have moments of backsliding and feel like i'm starting the process over and over again and it kills me
