Going Back

it’s never easy going back,

turning around in mid-stream,

fighting the swiftly flowing current,

it can take every ounce of energy

you possess;

it can be a very

painful process;

you’re forced to relive

all the mistakes,

all the missed opportunities,

all the things that

could have been,

should have been;

it’s not something

I recommend anybody try;

bad things can happen

when you turn around,

unexpected things,

unforeseen things;

things that would have been better

left undone;

things that should be left in their

rotting, shallow graves.
