Never Going Back (acrostic sonnet)

Now is the time for moving far away.
Each step I take, I grow that much stronger.
Virtually nothing my purpose will sway,
Even the fear can hold me no longer.
Reaching out to others for help -- I'm learning,
Growing to see myself as a person.
Only the bridges that need it are burning.
I've now found my strength in a new version.
Now I can see the truth for what it is,
Gone are the shackles with which I was bound,
Believing now that the blame's mostly HIS,
Allowing my soul's beauty to be found.
Commanding my own fate, now it seems;
Keep moving forward toward my dreams.
