Necesary Losses

i have to let go of things i use no more past papers of rough drafts bottles of perfumes devoid of their scents pairs of shoes I've grown too old for i have to let go of things i use no more give them out burn them up clean my closet ASAP throw things away that have no place to stay and things i cant have unrequited love unrealistic goals he thousand and one things in my to do lists one bullet at a time one task then the next I've to push aside those that merely fill my desk I'm clearing my dish i think I'll just have a small chicken wing chocolate dessert or something and maybe a glass of wine these i can trust not to upset my digestion one door closes another opens i have to let go of necessary losses for new horizons tangible expectations that's how life goes
