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 2012/04/02 CONTEST - Letting Go - Lisa Hiatt and CONTEST Heroic couplets - Craig Cornish
