In the depths of memory, a heavy heart doth lie

A past that haunts, a burden to the sky

Let go, they say, yet how can I unwind

The threads of time that weave a tale of mind?

But still, I must, let go of what's been

Embrace the now, and let the past be seen

For in its depths, lessons lie in wait

And wisdom whispers, "Do not hesitate"

So I'll hold on to the memories, but let go of the pain

And walk the path of growth, where love and joy reign

For in the end, it's not what's left behind

But what we carry with us, that shapes the design.
