i can't leave everything behind
everything about my past
that i've lost and cannot find
racing past the people and things that i used to know
sentiments lost
how fast can i go?
how can i slow down?
stop time
even for a minute
to look around and realize
what i've forgotten in it
over it
through it
but i can't look back
not now
gaining momentum
i don't know how
pausing--not an option
the only choice is
moving faster
and trying to grip hold of past
and future
hopes and dreams left to die
i need to save
their lives
i must get a grip
no choice but to try
