Shine On

by Leah Houghton

Don't look back at all those times you failed -
They are in the past
And can not be changed.

Don't look back on the painful losses -
They were not meant to be anyway.

Don't look back and cry over lost time -
For you are just wasting more time
and contradicting yourself.

Don't look back on everything you didn't get -
Focus on what you have
And how blessed you are to have them.

Don't look back and regret falling in love -
You enjoyed it while it lasted.

Shine on and don't look back.
