To Find Myself

Painting by the Author

It takes courage to let it go It sure took humungous one to let you go And now when I have done it so I realize holding on tight was my biggest foe

I have set you free, And it feels I am free of the prison ..viscious prison of the fear of losing

I am traveling light and unencumbered rid of the invisible burden ..burden of the fear of losing

The extra baggage was an odious obligation Letting you go has broken this illusion There was nothing to lose What I gained is precious! real! I found MYSELF!

Through ups and downs, I masked the frowns Through thick and thin, bore all with a grin The deception, the pain, the duplicity The never ending emotional atrocity The squashed sacred vow, crushed solemn promises A cruel web of lies A catastrophic blow to my pride I tried to ignore and look the other side I covered your deceptions, I masked my pain I was scared, I was naive What a fool I was to try win you back Hope I had the wisdom I then lacked To Let it go, to let You go

I cannot bear any longer Now that am awake from a deep slumber

And Finally I have done it so I have let it go, let you go It feels so light, holding you tight was my biggest foe I am reveling in this blessed carefreeness Where the mind has no fear, only cheeriness

At first, I wanted the answer, Where did I fail? I painstakingly pondered But now I know Some questions are best not answered Time heals all If we let it go.

Adieu! my love, I am letting you go.
