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

What's up Wednesday

Hello readers, What I'm Reading : I got and read two e-Arcs. 1. Behind the Stars by Leigh T Moore. I gave it 5 stars. The synopsis was left vague which left the story to be unexpected. 2. The Attic of Sand and Secrets by Medeia Sharif. I gave it 4 stars. I love the mystery. I love the diversity. Also, I finally... for the first time, got to read THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J Maas!! I gave it 5 stars. You will find more in depth reviews on goodreads . What I'm Writing : I'm in that two week slump for NaNoWriMo. This weekend I was at 17k. It's been three days and I'm at 18k. Hopefully better days are coming. Lists are very helpfully. I recently learned one way to revise your novel is to write one line about each page you have. It's timely but you get to see what you character or plot point is missing. What Else : Got an award from Jessica at Lunatic Poet , thank you! I have to give seven facts and pass it on to some of my favorite bloggers. - I've been blogging f...

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...
