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.

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets  Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
