Letting Go

lingering emotions I long to free

Escaping memories that weaken me

Time to release this burden upon my heart

Today is the day I embrace my new start

Incinerating feelings for freedom from the past

Never imagining how long it would actually last

Giving my soul another chance

Glimmers of hope in a second glance

Out of the shadows, my heart can dance
