Often I wish I could get over my past,
Get rid of memories which haunt.
Wondering how long this would last,
I grieve over the miseries I've got.

Often I wish I could move on ahead,
Create my own new world,
Waiting to let dry all tears I've shed,
I sob over curses that people've hurled.

I'd desired to be reknowned,
Now all I want is to be faded,
For all but peace I've ever found,
Earned nothing, just hatred.

I'ld wish not to be dragged,
Back amidst an aura unsolicited.
From bleak blames, long to be untagged,
To be left alone I've only prayed.

I don't need devils to return,
I don't want cries any more,
Hoping sore memories would burn,
I want to sleep peacefully, closing every door.
