Letting go Poems
Downpour
by Francis Shipp
As she walks away
To a new life
A new, alien life that I won’t be a part of
Thunder fills the untamed decibels in the air
The atmosphere shifts
With each vibration
As sound permeates every centimeter of earth
You can feel it coming
The water, meant to rejuvenate life on this planet
It means to start anew

Letting Go
by Kevin Schroeder
In the quiet corners of my mind,
Your laughter lingers, a ghost entwined.
Once a fire, now just a spark,
Your absence haunts in the dark.
With every laugh and every tear,
Memories linger, sweet but clear.
I reach for you, but find the air,
A hollow space, an empty chair.

Letting go
by Eric Benjamin
We can be whatever you want
Even when you strip away the things I want we can still be friends as long as it’s what you want.
When I’m mad and sad and frustrated.
No matter what I do to be near you it isn’t enough. You take away everything and leave me trying to hold on. But it feels like it’s time to let go.
You’re asking me to be something I’m not. You’re asking me to be mature and bite my tongue. To hide the way I feel. To turn away from what I felt inside. To lick it up and throw it away. Deny myself and negate my own experience. How fucked up am I? Why did I enable this?
When all someone does is clarify the view of your inadequacy. Sharpens the definition to reveal the details of each and every shortcoming. One after the other.
You can’t have what you got from me anymore. No matter what it was. Was it for you or was it for me? Where else will you look when you realize? What was I?

Let Go of Your Fear
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
Let Go of Your Fear
Allow yourself to drop the armor that surrounds you...
Allow yourself to go deep inside to your core...
Let go of your fear...
No one can cause you harm unless you allow them to do so...
You are truly in control of your own life if you simply allow your Higher Power to give you direction...

The Gentle River
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
Gentle is the river that runs
Throughmy heart
Calming my body from heartache
I know you need to leave
With all my questioning , I suppose
You crave getting away
However, I know If you stay, you'll regret it
And we'll fight endlessly
Until someone exhaust the purpose
Making you prisoner wasn't my idea

Shard
by Ben Quinn
Ceramic shard, reflective and hypnotic.
O! A sudden bite. Another for the collection.
How it burrows and gouges.
Just let it go!
But the beautiful ceramic it once was may yet be preserved.
Through kintsugi or some other fine art.
Yet it hurts tremendously.
So why not let it go?

Acceptance
by Catie Martinez
The sunset lay beautifully in front of me,
I wiped my tears off of my face.
I finally see it for what it is,
After the divide.
I leave it all behind,
Leave my bags on the rock.
Watching as the sunset began to fade away,

Time Doesn’t Heal
by Reverie Thoughts
Made myself bleed
From anxiety
Baby don’t you see?
I don’t feel the heat
And I don’t feel seen
This physical fatality
I thought went deeper
But this mountain-
It’s getting
Steeper
