I learned,
The art of letting them go,
I won, through pain, and all
that used to drive me insane.

I let go of the piece that made me whole,
Only to see that it wasn't it at all,
Oh, that is not it!
I was fooled, by vines that bound the self.

Mirror, mirror,
Tell me who it was, that made me whole?
"You, my dear, you yourself", came the reply
And so it is, it wasn't them at all...

I learned to let go, of
The past that held on,
The vines that bound me head to toe,
I look not, to those who broke me, not anymore.

The future beckons,
It's voice is sweet,
I remember not,
They who failed to see me.

May they be happy,
May they be safe,
I will not see,
I will not remember.

They matter not, not anymore,
I smile, into the light that envelopes the future,
As I finally perfected,
The art of letting go.
