Letting go is the most freeing feeling in the world. We should do it more often.

Let go of all that grips your mind

let go your torturous thoughts of doubt

the ones that leave you without

the ability to see an ounce of what others see in you

the ones that tear you to shreds at 2 in the morning

and consumes your whole soul in mourning

do not play a part in your own death

by sucking out the breath

of life inside of you

just believe

let go of the breath you’re holding

in anticipation of the reaction of those around you

to every word you speak and every move you make

release it to the wind and watch your worries drift away

as you realize that you don’t have to impress anyone today

stop gasping for the very air that everyone else pollutes

with their crude comments and rude remarks

just breathe

let go of the fist that you’re making

release the pressure of bitterness and anger that turns

your knuckles white and your heart to stone

let go of the past and open your hands to the future

remember the nails in the hands of a man who had every

right to be angry but chose love

just love

let go of all that doesn’t set your soul on fire

and cultivates in you a burning desire

let go of all that doesn’t take you higher

and live a life that you admire

just live

let go of all that you’re expected to be

and just be

this, my friend

is the key to being free
