Fading Innocence
The darkness surrounds me,
 As my thoughts drown in.
 I am engulfed by the voice of my past,
 The one which speaks so loudly.
 Reminding me of the mistakes,
 All of the memories replay in my head.
 I watch shamefully,
 As I realize the real damage i've done.
 Not only to myself,
 But to those I have cluelessly pushed away.
 The past is the past;
 Simply unchangeable,
 And unforgettable.
 But the future is not the future,
 I have control and power,
 Of the life ahead.
 More mistakes will be made,
 The regrets will never vanish.
 But comfort comes with knowing I determine my own fate.
 Along with that,
 Come great fear.
 What if the tables never turn?
 What if I never learn from my mistakes?
 So much can go wrong.
 So much WILL go wrong.
 But I know myself,
 And I know I am no failure.
 But all hope has left,
 Along with all faith.
 Relying on my own being,
 Is not something I believe I can do.
 However no one can do this for me.
 i will find the strength,
 And my journey will begin.
 Until then,
 I shall add to that never ending list of mistakes.
