No Going Back

Do not look back to the road
And the people you left behind.
They have doubted and slowed
You down. They will remind
You of a past you do not want
To go back to no matter how
You try to move ahead and haunt
You like ghosts. They always vow
And promise to change, but
They never do. That is why
When you are in a huge rut
To never look them in the eye
Because they will suck you in
And they will bring you off track.
Remember you have already been
There before. Do not look back.
