A Change of Scenery

12/9/02

A change of scenery is all I need.
Or so I think.
Will I be bringing me with me,
or leaving it all behind
in hopes of starting a new life?
I want to start over
but will I bring too much with me?
It's all in state of mind,
but where will I be when I get there,
spent in weeks filled with anticipation
while trying to slow myself down for my own good
if I'm going to get anywhere in life.
I went too far too fast
and never paid attention.
Here I am now, thinking I'll know better
if I can leave the past behind.
The only thing I fear
is the thought that sings through my head:
"Those who fail to remember
are destined to repeat."
Is that what I worked for
while trying to get out?
