Moving On Without Reason

Moving On Without Reason

I smell the smoke, and feel the heat, of the bridges burning behind me.

Perhaps I should have waited and gave myself more distance, from my tried and true past.

 After all, it is these very bridges, that have kept me in life for many years now.

 Can one really ever justify letting go, when there is nothing wrong with what they are holding in their hands.

Is it fair to your past, when all that was, is what has made you the person that you are?

And yet all that you have become, is the very source, of what is urging you to move on.
