Poem - Let it Go

Let it go
stop thinking of the past
and how you can change it

Let it go
remove the layers of dark
and see the light

Let it go
you don't have to be isolated
with your quiet self
see others still love you.

Let it go
it's okay to be upset
distance is okay too
if you come back

Let it go
let the fears and limits go
see the strengths you have
those weaknesses
are strengths in disguise

Let it go
you are the universe
and here you'll stand and stay.

*Inspiration came from this poetry jam.

Love and thank you, Fida

distance is ok too...if you come back...
so true...that is a packed line...
the coming back is huge...
sometimes we need space
but it can be scary
wondering if they will
come back.

I agree that if we stay fixed in and on the past rather than admit we cannot change it, we will not achieve much. I enjoyed the wisdom you skillfully expressed in your poem.

"see the strengths you have" - so important. And yet, I suspect, rarely practiced by the majority of people.

"those weaknesses

People need to see those weaknesses and turn them into the strengths they should be.

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...

As Alexia fights this new threat—along with an unfathomable evil and her own heart—the Soulless genesis nears.
