They say not to dwell on your failures
Look forwards, not backwards,
And learn from you mistakes.
But how can you look to the future
When the past is all you know?
When what you thought you knew,
And what you were good at
Are suddenly crumbling at your fingertips
And you no longer trust your grip?
All those things you were told
About how you were good at this –
Were they all lies?
All the small mistakes keep piling up
Until there are too many scratches and bruises
To go on.
Sometimes you go down the same path
Time and time again
Yet that one rock always trips you.
Why would you look to the dark and uncertain future
When hindsight is 20/20?
Because dwelling on the past doesn’t do anything.
Make things happen,
Don’t wait for things to happen to you.
