#neverlookback
Looking back on it, I realize it was all lies. All the "sweet" things you said, they were just to blind me from the truth. You never meant a single word. So I've decided it's not worth remembering lies and that I'm better off forgetting you.

Forgetting you
You never look back It's the first thing I noticed about you Your past, your pain, your failures You never look back But I always do. When I walk away, I look back to see if you're watching You're not You are focused You are direct You are confident in who you are, where you are You are you But I am me Me, who is looking up at you, marveling to see what you will accomplish next Me, noticing every movement you make, every sound, every hesitation Me, noticing when your smile isn't real So I give you mine to use And it fits you perfectly You fit into it and my smile becomes yours And mine is plastic again The mold I use to create my smiles so I can give them away to those who need them You, whose movements are fluid as water You, who is always trying new things You, who excels You are an asset to humanity A unifier A guide to the light within the darkness And I watch your work

We shall learn to fly And leap of the mountain cliff " Let's hop in together" you say We'd dive in a deep blue ocean Waves crashing through the roof Overwhelming our emotions Perils to the minds treasure And shout till we lose our voice Wash out from the cage and hold to freedom Wash out the soot of our past And born a new Like the phoenix being reborn From its own flame Be like a rockstar no one has ever seen Singing the ballads of glory Screaming for love,justice and faith Swinging the crowds around Getting high on our adrenaline Jumping high and crashing down to the ground Setting the world on fire The fault is in me and its in you. Mortal beings we might be But we could live forever

learn to fly
I want to go And keep going To never look back And always keep moving Forward and forward Feet on the ground And never ever have to turn around But I simply can’t I must stay here Filled with hope and filled with fear But someday I might leave Go far away and never return Thats the only hope That gives my fire a burn m.c.c.
