Ghost of the Past

It's hard to move on when someone keeps reminding you of your past.

Constantly chewing away at the back of my ear.

And all that I want to do is get rid of the memories fast.

But now I am reminded of the past, too Clear.

 

And it tears me up inside, telling myself, "That was you."

Feeling sick to my stomach from the mistakes made.

But such a stronger person that I have developed into.

This new person I've become, my mind you won't invade.

 

For I was the one who had to live through it all

And I was the one who had to survive the great fall.

So don't remind me of my past and tell me I was wrong.

Because those mistakes I made and that person is long gone.
