Put it behind us

Written at a time when I wish I could forget my past and just move on, but realized that because of my experiences, I am stronger.

How many times do you wish that you could put the past behind us and focus on the future
Did you ever take time to remember that the past lessons can help you in the future
Put it behind us and move on is what this world suggests
Forget about the things that you don’t like and focus on the things that bring us joy

Sometimes I don’t like remembering what was before, but I wonder if it made me stronger
Would I still be the same, if I hadn’t had all those obstacles in my way
I am bigger than the past, and my future is brighter
Sometimes I am glad looking back, that I am now where I am

Let it go, try to forget, try to let it not affect you
It’s what the world tries to tell us
Don’t remember the bad, but keep focused on what you want
Don’t let the past keep you down, it’s time to turn your life around

On the outside it seems pretty easy
But if you remember the lessons that you learned did it help you in the here and now
It’s in the past, so the world says it doesn’t matter
It’s behind you now, so can’t you just move on
