Letting Go

The light of the sun was blinding And I lie down on the sand The heat was blazing Made me wish I had a fan I close my eyes and listen Hearing the roars of the ocean Kids screaming and playing While I feel my own emotion Everything feels frozen in place Like it can last forever But tomorrow I'll be gone with no trace All my ties to this spot severed Peace floods through me here Not a touch of fear It will all be fine As long as I stay on this pier When I open my eyes it all seems different The world has changed I realized its because I listened And let go of the pain

It's really quite ironic to read a poem about Holding On... only to read another one that tells me to Let Go (what are you bi-polar?... LOL). This felt like a story about moving way to a different place. There was pain at first, but then you realized that moving was inevitable... so you might as well be happy about it. Small little note though... there is a typo in the second to last line. Should be 'realized' not 'reliazed"...
