Letting Go
yielding shackles bound
creates unsteady ground
toxin crafts its mark
defeat painted dark
anguish, fury, sorrow, pain
mood brands a barren stain
clinging to injured emotion
is a threatening devotion
affliction I may not survive
however, I have not felt more alive
grappling with feelings, bigger than small
is better than feeling nothing at all
as much as I would like to defend
I know deep down this must come to an end
numbness will overtake me slow
it is the price I pay for letting go
