Progress

It's been a while.

Maybe that's all I can say.

Maybe I can wake up,

To another day.

Maybe I can arise,

And to my surprise,

The pain is gone.

Maybe I can forget,

The way which in time it is set,

The memories which I 

For so long wanted to remember,

And the way I acted

I thought I would never regret

What is the point,

Of progress for progress' sake?

What is the point

Of all these chances we must take?

What is the point?

Of all these sacrifices we must make?

For there is an end.

And all must come to it.
