Let It Go
There was once a lonely girl
Set far apart from others
As though she is none like the rest
Feeling like a black sheep everywhere
She smiles everyday like the sun
Not knowing others call her crazy
As if it wasn’t enough that she was naive
She was used and thrown aside
Like a dirty rag, she felt down
Abnormal as it was, it became normal.
At that moment, she could only confide
With her best friend up above
That listens and comforts her to live on
She trusted too easily as she was desperate
To have friends by her side in her loneliness
She chose the wrong company
As well as being tortured mentally and physically
Not understanding why, she blames herself
Being harsh and sad, she cried daily
She befriended an outcast thinking she was one.
The outcast changed her
She became happy yet troubled
Now she has someone yet it felt odd
She was even more of an outsider now
Many adviced her to leave her
Yet being naive she believed
In this outsider that livens her life
Not knowing she was a liar and faker
That lonely girl was too late to realise
That she betrayed her many times.
Let it go, let it go,
A phrase she repeats constantly
To rid herself from regrets
Her first love was an illusion
Her first friend lied to her
Betrayed her and ruined her
Moving on,she went around with a group
Though rough they were, they were fun
She became rude not knowing
She changed and began cursing.
In the process, she fell in love
Because she wanted to love herself
She forgot her studies and fell
In love with one she did not
She experimented a lot
But she never knew what lies within
Only knowing the surface of love
She did all she could for him
Not knowing, she strayed far from love
Not knowing, she fell into sin.
Falling further and further away
From love that was never there
Let it go, let it go
She began to say repeatedly
All these bad choices of hers
It’s time to let go and let live
Although it may become a shame
And become a scar that remains
There is more joy in a home
Than being in a company of bad eggs.
Let it go, let it go
It’s time to let go and let it be
Although many regrets stay
It shouldn’t hold you back
Because everyday is a gift
That some don’t even have
The tomorrow that becomes a lesson
Becomes my lesson of letting go
It’s time to live in the present
The time has come to let go of the past.
