Faster and Brighter
Version 1
The days of the past
are behind me
I look forward to new
and brighter days
No longer enslaved to the sins of the past
On and on I go to faster and brighter days
never looking back
leaving the past behind
What once was
is forever gone
Good only for educating
for growth and wisdom
No point in wallowing
Over what I cannot control
On and on I go to faster and brighter days
never looking back
leaving the past behind
Version 2
Behind me now, muddy
And foggy the past.
Looking forward now
To crispy clear days
No longer lost
In the fog.
What once was
is forever gone
Good only for
educating
No point in wallowing
Over what I
no longer control
On and on I go
to faster and brighter days
never looking back
