When The Only Solution

There are times when the only solution
Is to let go of the past and start anew
To let go of all the old dreams, the ways of before
Sometimes that’s the only thing you can do

One must let go of the hurt and pain
And bury the memories away
Put and leave them in the past
And start to build on a brand new way

One must let go of people and situations
And what “could have been”
One must let go of mistakes
And begin fresh, all over again

When the past holds you back
Haunting your present, overshadowing
Not allowing you to grow and flourish
Then it’s time to let go of everything

It’s not always easy to start afresh
But neither is it easy to live in the past
Today and tomorrow is ours to live
Step by step we can build a new life to last

It serves no purpose to hold on to
Something that gives you no room
To grow, to flower
To bring your life to bloom

There are times when the only solution
Is to not look back as you walk away
To burn your bridges of yesterday
And start a new life today
