Should I Turn The Page?

I turn the page,
Away from my broken self,
Ready to start anew,
Hoping for a clean break that will never come,
Through the tears, I turn the page,
Forever wanting to break free,
The smell of a new beginning,
Right around the bend.

The smile on my face,
The laughter in my voice,
All fake,
In the face of friends,
My tears do hide.
Alone, the tears are free to fall,
Yet again I turn the page,
Wishing for a new me.

I turn the page,
In part to cover my emotions,
In part to forget,
The brokenness of my heart,
The facts of my shattered dreams,
That screams out to others.
To keep my secret desires,
Out of the public eye,
I turn the page,
Not daring to share my dreams.

I turn the page,
Only to find,
The words are soaked with wet tears.

I am not surprised,
For my entire life,
I have been turning the pages,
One by one,
As I try to forget who I am,
What I have done,
What I have become.

But this is my last page,
The question lingers in my mind,
Should I turn the page,
Like I am now so used to?
Or should I live on this page,
Through my mistakes,
Through my pain?

Should I turn the page?
