Walking Away

by Jan Brooks

Walking away,
From a painful past,
Letting go,
Of a love that didn’t last.

Walking away,
From someone who didn’t care,
Letting go,
And realizing it was going nowhere.

Walking away,
From the hurt and heartbreak,
Letting go,
And learning from that mistake.

Walking away,
From years of emotional pain,
Letting go,
And learning to find happiness again…
