Walking Backwards To Reach

Walking backwards to reach

what was once lost in my quest to move forward.

Little things that once mattered 

became things that I neglected.

Instead of becoming old and wise

I just grew old and short-sighted.

So I'm walking backwards to reach.

My heart is at war with my past actions 

My reflection constantly reminds me 

of the failures I wish to forget... 

Looking back towards my past through 

the mirror in my washroom seems foolish,

I wish I could break the mirror!

Why am I walking backwards to reach?
