Letting Go

Look at time, just standing still
Evidently, if you just ask time to take a chill, she will
That's right, time agreed that she would wait for me
Time said, go on, take a big ol' hissy fit, flip out, feel free
I'll polish my nails while you have a break down, heck the whole world can wait, 
Never ever will you have to make amends, or even consider having to compensate
Gee, I could use a facial too, I'll just make it a spa day

Go on, it's your pity party, you can dance the night away
Once you're sure you're ready to continue life, I'll turn my switch back on, okay?


This is one hundred percent factual, in a world called, "Yeah, right"
It would be nice, but life goes on regardless of what calamity life dishes out
Recognize the pain, experience it yes, but don't wallow in it's plight
Letting go takes hard work, but sometimes that's what life's about
When the work is done breathe a sigh of relief then experience life

I really like how you did this topic. Isn't it curious how different we all are? And how we take this topic in different ways? Sure to do well with the judge, Dineen. Thanks for visiting my poetry and for your thoughtful comments.
