It's the slow letting go
Waking up one morning with a clear mind
Unclouded by thoughts of the past
It's the way you realise
You've been spending your thoughts
On other things more built to last
It's not reliving your failures
As you go through each day
And yes you might still cry at night
It's the forgiving of them
And the cruel stars you once cursed
Even yourself as you see the light
It's realizing that even while
You weren't close to alright before
It is nobody's job to fix or save you
It's realizing you might
Someday be okay after this
The desolation may clear to truth
It's the slow release of
All the things you ******* in their heart
And knowing you will be okay
It's opening up to the future
Letting yourself see hope for once
Even though things will never be the same.
