Letting Go

Each layer peeled away reveals something hidden beneath that no one wants to be seen. It hurts and it still bleeds carelessly. Sometimes at the end of the day, you sit down and you wonder to yourself if it will ever heal. You stitch it and hope it will heal, leaving just a scar for a memory. Some days, it doesn't bother you. Others, it is like a ghost phantom that troubles you without end.

Letting go is one of the hardest things we can do. We hang onto something so small and let it grow and grow until it becomes something so large that it owns us. We back away into the corner and become defenseless as it takes control. It eats at us until we're nearly perished, leaving only a faint beating heart. And only when we're hanging on by a thread do we find the little strength we have left to fight.

It starts with forgiveness; with yourself and others. But you must first overcome your own demons and forgive you. Otherwise you'll be walking in a dark shadow forever. It's ok to be selfish and say no without feeling guilty. It's ok to say yes and indulge without feeling bad. You must learn to love you for all you are and LET GO what you can't change WITHOUT FEAR. No shame in being different. We all are people wanting to BELONG SOMEWHERE.
