(Interlude)
Holding on to anger is poisoning yourself while assuming the other person will perish instead. Holding on to lost love is only chaining yourself to a ghost; you are still without them and now stuck in the past.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Letting go is not a forgiveness
Doesn’t mean you forgot anything
It’s freeing you for your best interest
And cleansing your new beginnings

Hatred is a poison to your own heart
So moving on is where freedom starts
The other person still gets no excuse
You deserve peace and to be let loose

Chaining yourself to the past
Will continue to hold you back
In turn, keeping you from ever
Focusing on your new happiness

No one else needs to understand how
You can be civil to someone once cruel
You are the who lived it through
Dropping the grudge is what is mature

It may take us time to understand
Figure out how we stop giving in
And longer to heal and not care
As finding you, finds you out there

Letting go of anger is a free pass
Not for those who harmed you
But for your own soul to rest
Inner peace starts with ourselves

We all make some wrong choices
And do stupid things subconsciously
While some may have gone too far
Now that you said bye, cleansing time

So stop breaking your own heart
Learn your lessons and stay smart
Love should be more powerful than hate
Letting go is the beginning of strength
