The mistakes of our past forever haunt us.
So many things we wish we could undo.
The weight of the world seems so heavy.
Living as if we have something to prove.

Don’t fret the roads not taken.
Forget the cries of days gone by.
And all the choices you have forsaken.
They need not be the reason you cry.

A girl gives away her heart.
To someone that loves her naught.
She smiles and struggles to hide her pain.
A life unlived, but forever sought.

Don’t tread the waters you’ve left behind.
Forget the echoes of your past.
And all of the questions you’ve answered blind,
They need not be those questions asked.

A boy slips on his daily routine,
a masculine mask to hide his tears.
He presses on despite the pain.
Consumed by hate, by despair, and fear.

Don’t fear the calm before the storm.
Forget the binds that hold you down.
And all that leaves you so forlorn,
It needs not be part of you now.

We stand alone from time to time.
Having little to nothing left to give.
But we must hold on despite the sorrow.
We have only one life to live.

Don’t give up on tomorrow.
Remember why you’ve held on so long.
And all of the people who’s strength you borrow,
They’ll need you too, when things go wrong.
