I walked away meaning to never look back
But every step forward reminded me of the life I left behind
I walked faster, determined to get away quicker
But every corner I turned, every stone I walked over
Each whispered I would not get anywhere
So I stopped and changed my style,
Improved my walk, modified my outlook
and made the mistake of looking in the mirror
and found an ugly person staring back in horror
I wasn’t the person I once knew myself as
I wasn’t living the life I had dreamed of...
