Deciding to let go

You have to at some point let it go

All that past pain and suffering,

Because it’s not something you can change

And it will simply destroy you one day,

And what’s the point of that and is that your aim

We’ve all been through this in someway,

Past trauma stalks me but I am not afraid

It’s not my friend but it’s also not my for,

It’s just marks a time in my life that I will always know

But I will build from that stronger and grow,

And live in the present, not the future that is unknown

And not the past that I am determined to let go,

The trauma is part of what makes me who I am now

But I will not let it define me, it’s just another fragment and nothing more,

But of the pain and suffering, I have decided to let that go,

And make the most of each moment right here, right now

And I will invite the light in to cast out the dark,

So that my life will now glow and will ensure the happiness flows.
