When leaves fall |Poetry

let it go

for how long
can you hold on to this pain?
you want to heal
you want to grow
you want to live
you want to smile and laugh to anything like they did
you want to love like they loved,
So why not.

there is better way to make sense of their transit into the other realm,
than keeping yourself and your guilt locked in your head.
you have carried all this baggage for too long,

Let it go.
