Forward Movement

...right, left, right.

By ᔕᗩᗰ ᕼᗩᖇTYPublished about a year ago 1 min read

one step at a time

right, left, right

ignore the mind talk

keep moving forward.

right, left, right

feel the pain

but don't

run back for more.

right, left, right

your heart is breaking,

she left it torn.

no looking back!

right, left, right

your tears may flow,

you'll want her back.

but remember her words

and how they hurt you

right, left, right

days will pass

yet time marches slowly.

why doesn't she call me?

don't call her!

right, left, right

doesn't she even miss me?

I missed her so much!

things might get better

with one more try.

right, left, right

where am i?

you've moved on.

forward movement.

right, left, right

  • Aw I felt this so much. Sometimes the only think we can do is put one foot in front of the other. The only way out is through x Take care of you Sam 💜 c

  • The need and struggle to remind ourselves of how much their words hurt is just too real. Loved your poem!
