STUCK IN REVERSE

STUCK  IN  REVERSE

I seem to be stuck in Reverse
and though I know it's wrong
I can't seem to look ahead of me
I'm singing a backward song

The past has a grip upon my soul
that I can't seem to shed
the pictures of my former days
are circling in my head

Like a broken record
with continual repeat
I search for the verse
with the final sweet beat

My mind replays those horrid scenes
as I try to forget
and try to break free

I falter back often
as my mind repeats
that ugly old baggage
the poison secretes


It's like a mind punishment
that I've devised within my heart
to torture myself
it's breaking me apart

I have a life now of joy
what I always wished for
So why must I replay
the junk from before ?

My former days were filled with hurt
and pain beyond compare
So why can't I just walk away
and leave it right back there ?

Will I undermine what I have now ?
The pleasures of this Mate ?
Will I find a way to save this day
Before it is too late ?

I'm talking to myself out loud
and wonder why I do it.
At first I thought that I could write
and find some therapy thru it

Can I let go - should I release
the lessons that I learned ?
Am I afraid that I might persuade
my memory to return?

I pray each day - to find the way
To shift toward second gear
I must refrain from my former pain
and find my way from here

To forward walk, and talk the talk
No longer peruse the curse
unstick the shift of life's past drift
no longer in Reverse.
