bridges burning

I have set my bridges to burn1

and as I turned to leave2

I saw3

all my past regrets,4

all my past mistakes,5

all my past loves.6

Satisfied7

with the choices8

that I have now made9

I approached another bridge10

this one steady and sure11

so I crossed it12

with confidance13

leaving all my past behind.14

As I approach each new bridge15

I gain confidance16

and focus17

looking forward18

to that fateful day19

when the final bridge draws near20

and I'll cross that bridge in happiness21

as I then turn22

and face23

the one I love24

and together25

we'll search for better days.

    I'm one for structure and stanzas, so that irked me, but that's just a personal preference. xD

    It was a great poem, fun to read. Had a bit of a flow to it, and a great message. Not a lot of people have gained such wisdom and you nailed it with this poem.

    this certainly makes a person think. I am unlike you, I am always looking back at the bridges I have corssed, my mind filled with doubts and "if only"s, and "what if"s. I need to keep my mind on the present and the future, but i just don't seem to be abkle to, the past just won't leave me alone. Anyways, this was a good poem.

    Very Interesting

    I like this poem even I am not usually a poetry type of fellow.

    The piece reads really well, the short sentances are on the mark and it is all moved along at a nice pace.
