When I Let Go

When I let go of you I found myself wishing For what I thought was Right knowing the worst Was finally behind and I Paused for one moment Realizing I'd been keeping Myself out of the light! I cannot choke life into What was never meant To live in my heart and Soul, when all it ever did Was break me up! I looked closely inside With the knowledge I was on the wrong ride With no handrails and No seats left to keep me In that place anymore! I hear the stillness and Serenity and see The truth inside of me Things can be different The burdens are gone Fighting every wrong I emerge in a new existence Relinquishing any bonds Or ties to my shadowed past!
