The past in its place

Leave it behind,
Let it go,
Let the past be the past,
And let your present not be harassed.
When the past is in its place, the future will always seem brighter,
But be sure to leave it behind.
Let not the burden of yesterdays mistakes
Take a toll on your heart.
Blame not your heart for the words you said and the things you did.
You did what your heart felt fitting at every point in your life.
How can you hold it responsible just because it no longer feels right?
Forgive yourself for the times you put everything before your heart,
Forgive yourself for when you left your heart behind.
Allow yourself the space to feel,
To feel pain and to know it's real.
But do not stay there longer than you deserve
For pain is temporary and for you there's an abundance of joy reserved.
Move on, move out, move onward,
The future beckons, a better state of mind calls.
Stay not stagnant within trying and testing thoughts
Seek happiness, seek light, seek grace.
Trust me, it will be a battle overcome and well fought.
