I never knew
The world spun so fast
I held onto things too tight,
Making sure not to lose
The unplanned memories.
I tried to push out the negativity,
But I couldn’t,
I can’t let go

I sit there and watch as life whirls by,
As days turn to nights,
And a night to day,
Unable to release my grip on all
I’ve ever known.

Although it gave me blisters,
And my fingers would all ache,
I persevere and hoped that one-day things would change.
Always sure that holding on
Was worth the pain it takes.
I used to believe that letting go,
Meant losing a part of me.
That loosening the grip meant
Turning into a person my heart no longer knew.
Some how I figured out that I was the one
The one who needed to loosen the grip
In order to make the change possible.
I began to slowly open my hands
And watch as I dropped all I once knew
Although it felt like a journey from the sky to the drain
I ended up shattering on the grown
My soul became much lighter,
Instead of being filled with fear,
Letting go
Taught my heart that I can’t make everything
Last Forever
