Freedom

We must let go.

Of people and the expectations we hold them to.

Of the plans we make and the promises they broke.

Of the pain yesterday held and the uncertainty of tomorrow.

 

We must let go of the idea of changing others.

Of the thought that we can make them understand.

Of the illusion that we can abolish ignorance.

Of the countless times we see what we want to see.

 

We must let go of toxicity.

Of the anger we built up so high.

Of the sadness we allow to consume us.

Of the regret that stains our past.

 

We must let go of fantasies.

Of the power we believe holding on gives.

Of the idea that we are strong to do so.

Of the fear that life as we know it must change.

 

We must let go to be free

We must forgive all

And it must start with me.

Strength

I’m strong now.

From the depth of my soul

To the soles of my shoes.

But sometimes forget

I wasn’t always her.

You see the past is a blur

When you wanna forget

The remaining regrets.

But they fuel me.

These thoughts of time

Forcefully remind

This brain of mine

That there is no going back.

To what once was,

And it’s all because

I gave my all

Just to get here.

When I was lower than dirt

I pushed through the hurt.

Now I know my worth

Cause I fought for this.

But sometimes I forget

And it’s sad but true

That which makes you happy

Can often blind you.

But when it feels good

You shut your eyes

And now you’re surprised

At how you got here.

But It’s different this time

Not the painful kind.

And so this blissful mind

Begins leading me.

To a happy place.

I tried to slow my pace

But reality slipped without a trace

And I don’t know where the time went.

So I remind myself

Of my mental health

And the importance of being quiet.

Attempting to be still,

While chasing the thrill.

I can’t seem to keep my feet on the ground.

I think I’ve I finally found

The source of my chaos.

I hold on too tight

At the thought it might

Not be this way again.

But attachment is pain

So I must remain

And accept the emotions as they come.

When the moment is done

Acceptance has begun.

I can’t start to run

And chase down a feeling.

I must force myself to see

How important it is for me

To breathe in and out.

And don’t forget about

How much I fought to get here.

Closure

Closure

I forgive you for not understanding me, for it is not an easy task.

I forgive you for trying to change me instead of accepting my past.

I forgive you for your ego, he was too big to hide.

I forgive you for never letting go of the pain you held inside.

I forgive you for your angry words, whether you meant them all or not.

I forgive you for your temper because I brought it out a lot.

I forgive you for every mistake because I see now I was guilty too.

I forgive you for all the pain because I made it through.

I forgive you for having your doubts losing you scared me too.

I forgive you for hating me when I did what I needed to do.

I forgive you for your protection but understand I will always be free.

I swear I never meant to be difficult, I was just being me.

I forgave you in every way so I could finally move on,

March to a new melody and sing a new song.

I will carry you with me in the left of my chest

But only the greatest moments and release all the rest.

I wish you peace and love now and everyday

Because you deserve happiness in the deepest way.

Forgiveness is like closure, for it to have the most meaning we cannot wait for others to deliver, it must come from within. So from the bottom of my heart I love you, I miss you and I let you go.
