Letting Go

The light of the sun was blinding
       And I lie down on the sand
The heat was blazing 
         Made me wish I had a fan
I close my eyes and listen
      Hearing the roars of the ocean
Kids screaming and playing
         While I feel my own emotion
Everything feels frozen in place 
      Like it can last forever
But tomorrow I'll be gone with no trace
        All my ties to this spot severed
Peace floods through me here
           Not a touch of fear
It will all be fine
          As long as I stay on this pier
When I open my eyes it all seems different
        The world has changed
I realized its because I listened
             And let go of the pain

It's really quite ironic to read a poem about Holding On... only to read another one that tells me to Let Go (what are you bi-polar?... LOL). This felt like a story about moving way to a different place. There was pain at first, but then you realized that moving was inevitable... so you might as well be happy about it. Small little note though... there is a typo in the second to last line. Should be 'realized' not 'reliazed"...
