Lonely Hallway

Sitting in a long lonely hallway
My thoughts become more clear
Memories race through my mind
Some good, some not so dear.

I try to keep the mood up beat
Thoughts of my failures and insecurities
I can only hear my self breath
Memories of my triumphs and catastrophes

When alone its too quiet
Allowing my mind to roam
Reminding me of my faults
Heart ache and hurt I began to moan

Why don't these events stay in the past
And allow me to move on
Why do they keep resurfacing
Changing the beat to my new song

I want to loose my hateful past
Forget the mistakes I've done
But they have made me who I am
Different from where I begun.

These thoughts are reminders of where I've been
And what I am fighting for
I only wish these haunting thoughts
Would end and be never more.
