I opened the door to yesterday
and dipped my toe back in it,
the feeling is cold-- unforgiving,
one step forward... two back.

I need to move out of the past
and break down the walls that surround,
to strive for a new beginning
no hurt, no sorrow or fear.

As I swim off into tomorrow
and leave the mad past behind,
I welcome this bright new dawning,
day one of my life starts now.
