Let Go

I looked in the mirror What did I see I saw piece by piece of me Falling away Like a snake shedding skin So he can grow stronger These were pieces of my past Keeping me from my future Afraid of the changes I held on so tight Because out of my control Is just not my style Then finally one day I fell to the ground Crying and begging For relief from this trauma I picked myself up Brushed off the pain Looked in the mirror Saw this beautiful being If ever a time comes When your afraid of losing control Think not of the past you Just move on and let go Out of all the ashes From all of the fear Gives you a chance to build better A new improved you
