Letting Go

Recovery
#1

I have to let you go now.
It’s time to move on.
I’ve spent my life in a trap, never fully living or understanding what life is meant to be.

I have to let you go now.
It’s time for me to break free.
So much time has been wasted, not doing what was right for me.

I have to let you go now.
I cannot stay any longer.
There’s so much life to be explored, but you cannot come, you just can’t see.

You’ve held me back, shattered my dreams, broke my heart.
You’ve caused me pain, anxiety, and fear.
You’ve made me feel emotions I never wanted to cross
You’ve kept me up at night; crying, angry, sobbing, raging

Somewhere along the way things changed.
My tears dried up and my anger dulled.
The rate that was once within has been replaced with indifference.
I have finally let you go.

Letting go is like farting it may stink at first but you feel so much better.

Thank you! That means a lot. I used to love writing. First time in my life doing it sober as an adult. It’s nice to feel creativity coming back.

Yes ma’am we are haha. Keep up the writing that’s awesome. I’ve been an avid reader all my life and now with a clearer mind I am attempting writing my first novel so I use that as a guide to my sobriety.
