The Shadows Fall Behind You

The bad that happened today

It’s in the past.

But still you let it clog your vision.

You still cling fast to your bad decision.

Even though you apologized

Even though they forgave

You’re still tempted to cave into your oversized

Guilt.

Why did I do it?

Psh, stop asking.

Why do you find it so hard, grasping the concept

Of ‘forgive and forget it’?

Because

As everyone should know,

If you turn towards the sun,

You won’t see your shadow.
