I'm starting a clean slate.
A new background.
I'll put my troubles behind me.
Just some horrid

MEMORIES.

I'm deepening my thoughts.
But simplifying my dreams.
My life will be simple.
As normal lives


ARE.

I'm not weak.
No fears, no tears,
And as for lying?
I will



NEVER.

I'm reaching my goals.
And succeeding for real.
Although my troubles continue,
They seem


FORGOTTEN.

Read the poem as is, line for line, then at the end read the capital words. :)
