Let Go

I lie inside myself
the pain lands on my chest
like a boot unknowingly crushing flowers
why should I stay?
the cycle always continues
why should i keep going
trying
when everything I create
is bound to be destroyed?

this is easier
easier than fighting
scratching and clawing
nonstop
just to stay on the edge of the cliff
if I could just let go
