The Rocks

a rocky future

built from the past

issues unresolved

secrets i can't admit

feelings i bury

thoughts i ignore

a collection of what if's

repeated mistakes

detours and dead ends

things i left behind

now loom ahead

time to climb through

regardless the wounds

time to shed tears

and let the blood flow

time to be strong

and learn to grow

for if i don't

they will reappear

Life presents many challenges and opportunities.  Lessons we must learn.  When we choose to ignore these lessons they tend to come back again.  Each time more forceful than the previous time.  The mistakes we make tend to visit us over and over, until we get it right.  As daunting as it seems, perhaps it is time to face them head on. 

Taking the time to deal with our issues allows us to truly put the past to rest.  It allows us to love ourselves.  When we love ourselves, we tend to attract love from others.   Time to get love off the rocks.
