to move on

to move on
is to let go
to let go
is not giving up

it's proving to others
that you can be strong
letting go
is not forgetting

to hold on
is not being weak
to want to forget is
not wanting to get hurt

but if you don't compromise
with your heart
body and soul
you won't be able to survive

the memories will remain
use them to heal
the pain will be there for a long time
use it to your advantage

they can heal you
love can hurt
and it can destroy
but always remember.... life won't end

it's just a lesson learned
one of many more to come
the world won't stop
clocks keep ticking

you have more to live for
you have more to encounter
but if you lose your way
just take a breath

and keep on moving
things will get better
the wounds will heal
give it time

and most of all
you have to be wiling
wiling to help your self
when you are down
and no one else can
