These Things We Hold On To

Everyone has fears. Let's try to have faith greater than our fears. Let's allow light to illuminate our souls and highlight the darkness that we fear. Negative emotions do not have to be bad. We are all dark and light. 

These things we hold on to

These things we hold on to 
They are often driven by fear
But if we can be still and calm
Look within and have faith
We can release them
And be free...

If we set free our anger
We fear that the transgressions against us will be diminished

If we set free our forgiveness
We fear that they will get away with it

If we set free our judgement
We fear that others will feel that we aren't enough

If we set free our grief 
We fear that we may lose the memory of those who have passed

If we set free our shame
We fear that we will be seen for our authentic selves and be found wanting 

If we set free our truth
We fear that we won't survive the honesty

If we set free our hope
We fear that we will become comfortable and be more dismayed at the potential "other shoe" dropping

If we set free our love
We fear that we will be hurt and that our love won't be reciprocated

If we set free our light 
We fear that we will shine too brightly for others to accept

Have faith greater than your fears
Allow love and light to soothe your soul
Allow healing and blessings to all
Have a heart that is open and bold

You can embrace the darkness
You can heal it with light
We are all a balancing act
Between day and night

For these things we hold on to
They will eventually fade away
Nothing mortal can last forever
Our souls exist beyond 
Emotional mayhem

Have faith greater than your fears
Live with hope and prayer
Embrace mercy and grace
Feel light and love

And be free

For these things we hold on to
Are not who we aspire to be
