Fall Behind

​Left behind heavy despair,
cast aside lingering care.
Underneath yesterday’s cry,
problems leave to pass me by.

Like a ghost, so faint and cold,
release firm cemented hold.
Chains that bound my spirit tight,
fall away, dissolve at night.​

Endlessly, my soul takes flight,
infinitely soars so bright.
Nothing binds, no fear to hold,
new paths lets future unfold.

Open arms to greet the dawn,
embrace paths that stretch beyond.
Steps propel towards the vast,
journey on so free at last.
