It's a skill I hoped I'd abandon, when I got on the open road

Don't you see? The door was shut, with tears and sorrow. It was locked with pain and anger. It was sealed with hurt and frustration. It was abandoned out of necessity. I was locked into being someone I didn't even know - and I have finally let myself take off the shackles and accept something better. A happiness I forgot about, maybe one I have never even known. I don't want to look back in anger, I don't want to hold a grudge, I don't want a fight. I just wanted to let go. I want to accept the scars that have taken up permanent residence within me, and carry on. What more can I do? Ive made my bed, and I've slept for so long on the cement slab - it's time to get up. It's time to just accept that there is more to life than this... it's time. Be careful, be cautious, but know that I can't stay in this room, accepting punishment any longer. I've met with the demons, they are letting me go now. So I'm going. One foot in front of the other.
