I think I let it go today

there was an agony
living under my skin
and whatever it was
whatever creature
lurked just
beneath
prying at my heart
and devouring my mind
is gone now
and
I hope
will
not return

I think I let the pain go
today

though there was no one moment,
a transformation from sick to well,
I sit with myself and feel somehow:
better

I think I let it go
today

I think tomorrow is a good day
to begin again
and
maybe
I’ll do
just that
