The past cannot harm you,

 The past cannot harm you,

once you have chosen to evolve from it.

The failure cannot define you,

once you have chosen to learn from it.

The regret cannot consume you,

once you have chosen to release it.

The pain cannot control you,

once you have chosen to make peace with it.

The fear cannot hold you back,

once you have chosen to move past it.

And the mistake cannot haunt you,

once you have chosen to forgive it.
