You had, lived, in the past, gotten trapped by it, for too, GOD damn long is the thing, and, you’d finally decided, to DITCH it, to leave it to step OUT of it!
Step out of the past, you’d taken that very first step (not literally not yet, at least) outward, and yet, one step, that, was ALL you’d taken, before you were, chickened out again, and, you had, once more (not for the last time still…), withdrew, BACK, into that small shell of yours again…
Step out of the past, you really wanted to, but, you just, couldn’t, because you’re still, tangled by, entrapped, by the things in your past. Step out of the past, how can you, keep on, living in the past?
Step out of the past, so, you’ll no longer, be haunted by things that are, already gone. Step out of the past, so you can, finally, move on, to greener pastures, but, how can you, when your feet are STUCK, in the mud, and the muck, and, you can’t even, MOVE, an inch forward???
