Listen to poem:

Just Let It Go

To dwell on something could really drive you mad
Thinking about it over and over can really make you sad
As easy as it is for us to breathe in and breathe out
Really that's what letting something go is all about
We ponder over it making it bigger than it has to be
Allowing negative feelings or animosity take the lead
Its not that serious because changes can be made
Being able to let it go gives our forgiveness a gauge
Holding on to a matter will only sir up contention
Try to let days go by without the matter mentioned
No one or anything should steal your sleep at night
Just let it go if you're not planning to make it right
Rather you're over it or not is only for you to know
Your soul would be much happier if you just let it go
