The Art Of Letting Go
I used to think holding on meant strength,
That clinging tight was the only way.
But now I see that letting go
Is where true courage lays.
It’s not about forgetting,
Or pretending it didn’t hurt.
It’s about learning to breathe again,
Even while feeling the worst.
Letting go doesn’t mean erasing the past,
It means freeing yourself to move ahead.
It’s allowing your heart to heal and mend,
Even when it aches for what’s been said.
It’s finding peace in the memories,
Without needing them to stay.
It’s choosing yourself, your growth, your joy,
Over the pain of yesterday.
So take a deep breath, unclench your fists,
Release the weight you bear.
The art of letting go isn’t losing love —
It’s making room for care.
