Don't Look Back

Self absorption sets in
With a wavering step we make headway on covering lies
We often pretend that the burden is light
Yet we struggle to move ahead

Don't ever look back on where you've been
It's where you're going to fall in
Don't wait for the moment still to come
The here and now has just begun

Every word that's been said
It's overwhelming the cost and effective in wearing us thin
It gets to your head
The frustration incurred by addition to rising walls
