Letting Go

Today...

I let it all go. The world crumbled around me as the last pieces of my life walked away. I let it go. 

I smiled as I pretended to be okay, when my heart was in shambles. I let it go.

I listened to the silence of my home for whispers of hope. I let it go.

I gathered all of the broken pieces and tried to put them back together with nothing more than a hope and a prayer. I let it go.

I looked for comfort, but found only my arms to hold me tight. I let it go.

I sought peace in a broken world. I let it go.

I found acceptance in my experience. I let it go.

I looked for your face in the crowd and met a stranger. I let it go.

I lost my way and didn't recognize myself. I let it go.

I wiped the tears from my face and fought for my dignity. I let it go.

I listened to the wind whisper as I tried to find my place in the world. I let it go.

I wrote it all down on paper and then crumpled it up. I let it go.

I let it go. What else could I do?
