poetry for the broken

letting go

i want to let go

let go of the past

let go of the present

let go of the negative thoughts

let go of the bad memories

let go of the words

let go of the scars

let go of the people who said you never be good at anything

let go because if you never let them go

they will eat you alive

let go because for a while they feed off of your fear

so let go because they will feed and feed off you till there's no more buffet.
