Letting Go

"Letting Go"

The burdens we carry
By choice or happenstance
Waking each morning,
“The day is impossible”
We say, unfairly

Straining beneath the weight
All have been here
Sinking to the bottom
Peering up with longing
But drowning isn’t our fate

So forward we endeavor
Resilience the key
Unseen by those around
But Inside us all along
Bursting with pleas

And the days become weeks
Weeks to years
Hopeless we can’t be
As long as there’s air
Above the water

So about those burdens
We must be brave
For there’s a chance
To breathe again
It’s as simple as

Letting go

"Letting Go" explores the idea that sometimes, in order to move forward on our journey of self-discovery and personal growth, we must let go of the burdens and challenges that weigh us down. Whether these burdens are self-imposed or happenstance, they can hold us back and prevent us from flourishing as individuals. But by finding the resilience and courage to let go, we can rise above these challenges and continue on our journey towards becoming our true selves.
