If I should cross into forsaken places…
….what may I find?
Only the desolate ruins of a bygone life
long abandoned?
Or could there be treasures unknown
waiting in the dark places,
left behind and lost
when I ran from the memories,
when I chose the mists of oblivion?
One foot on the bridge
spanning the lies I told myself
to escape remembering,
I search within for the courage
I know I must have had to survive.
To go forward into the past,
to search and discover,
or to hide forever from myself
in a groundless future?

“To go forward into the past” makes me think of what therapy is going to be like. This is very powerful and moving!

Thank you. Some of therapy is like this but it often seems that every way I turn the past is in front of me, blocking my way. Sometimes the only way forward is back! ❤
