Let it go

Let it go, take a breath, move your feet and take a step
Watch the ground move along underneath your feet...
Just watch the world go by through the window of your car
Chase the raindrops with your fingers and remember how to breathe...
You bight your nails and hold your head, tell yourself that you won’t cry
Put on an act for the world around you...
But a smile on your face has nothing to do with what you're feeling inside.

Your use of figurative language and personification is unmatchable! Sometimes i feel the exact way your poem depicts...unreal!

When life gives me a reason to cry, I'll show life that I have 1000 reasons to smile.

Wow, this is powerful. So great. I love where you said to ''chase the raindrops with your fingers''. Great job, keep it up! (:
