Look'in Back

by The Change

It's easier going forward when you leave the past behind. This is a one-shot, I hope it sounds like the character I'm trying to impersonate.

The number one rule to being able to live without loneliness is ta never let yourself be reminded that you're alone. That's the worst feeling of all. It completely rips apart the borders you've built up around yourself down, till your drowning in the hurt and pain and abandonment once again.

Let it take its tole… it will ya know? The emotions, the pain, they'll die inside of you. Until you never feel right, act right again. Normal things will just slip past your cold surface and you'll turn from it. Like noth'in matters. But there will be moments… like the one I'm in now. That will pull apart all the ice and leave ya broken. So don't look back, and most of all, don't want. If ya wish to survive don't dream of what ya know you'll never get. Never do that. All the pain will wash over ya again. All the betrayal and loss, it will cut you down.

So don't… just don't. Never want, never dream, and you'll never grow weak. It'll make it easier to keep going forward… never look'in back. Keep your eyes up ahead, the past far behind and in moments like these. Sigh… and twist the memories until they seem more like dreams. Cause people like me… like you… we know dreams aren't com'in true. Noth'in to hurt over then.
