there are somethings
that i can't help
but
let go of
things that made me happy
things that made me smile
things that i loved
things that took my breath away
i lived happily doing them
i smiled
i laughed
i lived
yet
one day
i had to let go of all
all that made me feel
all that i loved
all that made me who i am
all that i was
and then
i was lost
lost looking
searching
for them once again
the things that made live
but
i couldn't find them
no matter how hard i looked
no matter for how long i looked
and
in that moment
when i gave up
gave up looking for them
I found something else.
something that made me feel different
yet
it was something
something that taught me how to breathe again
something that made me realise
that the things i let go of
i couldn't find them
even if i did
they would no longer be same
they would no longer
make me feel the same things
made me realise that
the me now
was also different
different from the one before
the one who only smiled and laughed
i was now the one
who learnt
how to cry
how it hurts
i was now the one who knew pain
pain that could make you stop breathing
i was now the one who got past all that.
the one who knew how to smile through tears.
the one that could let go of her love
the one that could get back up again
even after falling.
