Let It Go

Blinded by lies, chains and barricades. 
Contemplating suicide becuse things remain the same. Haunted by the past but 
living through the days. 
Fear of the shadow's cast being molded by the clay. Enabling you to stop me 
when I want to grow. 
Accept my words and hear my plea.
There's something you ought to know. 
I'm letting you go. 
I can't be held back, I've made up my mind.
This isn't an attack, but I'm leaving you behind.
I'm not contemplating suicide or being held back by 
pain. 
Content with the present, happily living through my
days. 
Not worried about what it meant when you said "It's
just a phase." 
Not allowing you to stop me; I'm making myself move on. 
Do you agree to disagree? I've got this battle won. I've let you go.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
