I want to move on!

For the better me...

I want to move on!

"Echoes of my youth's dark history
Haunt me still, a persistent mystery


An Alcoholic's fury, a heart's deep sorrow
A heritage of hurt that refuses to borrow

Recollections of dread, of anguish, of disgrace
Whispers that still summon my name's dark place


A childhood lost, a spirit trapped
A heart that struggles to escape the trap

The impact of his outbursts, a burden to carry
A constant reminder of the anguish he shared freely


The pain of his temper, a wound that won't mend
A scar that remains, a heart that still contends

I strive to move forward, to leave it all behind
But the specters of my past, they linger in my mind


A constant reminder of what I've survived
A childhood marred, a soul that's been deprived

But still I cling to hope's fragile thread
A glimmer of light, a chance to be freed from the dread


From the shackles of my past, from the weight of his legacy
A chance to heal, to find my way, to shatter the legacy"
