Letting Go

Deep breath…

Exhale…

Shoulders drop and release

Pain slides away

Peace comes in its place

 

I let go…

Of gritted teeth

Of poisonous words

Of irrational rages

Of the pretense of love

 

I let go…

Of daily excuses

And drunken tears

Of empty promises

And unspoken fears

 

I let go…

And turn away

From the darkness to light

To a new path

To a new life

I let go…
