If they played dirty on you

It doesn't make sense to spend our whole lives reproaching and remembering how we' ve been failed. At some point we have to learn to turn the page.

--

If they played dirty on you,
if they hurt you,
don’t keep that bitter memory
forever close and hanging over you.

If you have something
that is not good for you,
place it in a drawer
and toss the key.

Live will be better.

Clinging to the past
for the rest of our lives
is something that hurts us.

It is unhealthy
not to let go of the past,
or not let things go,
to not to turn the page,
to not forget,
and to not forgive...

You need to be able
to move forward,
leaving behind the bad,
perhaps not necessarily forgetting,
but maybe at least
not thinking about it all the time.
