Ashen snow falls around my sullen existence,
Finally covering the mistakes and lies I've endured.
I've released my broken past and let it lay to rest,
Though you never knew, nor probably even cared.
Once more I can walk in the direction that has eluded me,
The darkness has lifted from my mind and I've seen the world anew.
Taking the first step forward, my past is gone, left behind.
The past that refused me happiness; the past now belongs to you.
