Things You Let Go
May 31, 2017
A Balloon
A Dream
A Moment
That drifts
Rather than leaps away
Your parents’ hand
A swing
A childhood
In order to fly
The Friendships
The Crushes
The Fears
The Emotions
That burden your shoulders
Anger
Sadness
Guilt
Grudges
Ripped blankets
Torn clothing
Broken pieces
Which hurt to hold
Pain
The People
The Memories
The Hope
That one day these things
Will come back
Or forever be let go
