I Wish

I do not wish to cling onto any bitterness

Or bask in some mishaps of the past.

That would only torment my soul.

I do not even wish to forget

What has passed, for it has only,

Strengthened me, empowered me.

However, I do wish to remind myself

Of avoiding any of those same follies.

I do not wish to stop myself,

From making mistakes again,

Fearing the past. Yes, I have taken lessons

From it, but, I do not intend to restrain myself

From learning what some new mistakes

Shall teach me. It is not about a fear

Or a feeling of anxiety for what has happened.

However, it is now more about

Protecting my heart, even more.

A new me has risen, and though,

This new me is even more strong, resilient,

I have lost a certain part of me,

The past has snatched it away from me,

Which is never to come back to me.

But, I do not regret, not even a single moment,

And never shall I.

For, I have always believed in destiny,

And what has passed by,

Is a part of my destiny.

Now, I only wish to beam with a positive aura,

And that, I shall.
