THE WONDER OF LETTING GO

The past can be an anchor weighing you down

Hooked on to you, averting your rise

You become an intangible part of the past

But the past can never become your reality

For it is gone, lost in the vast spans of time

And what has gone will not and cannot come back

The harder you clasp onto it, the tighter you make your hold

The fresher will the wounds reflect on your flesh

Your mind yearns to go back, to make it alright

But there is no turning back from reality

Open your eyes to what is true, 

Turn away from the demons of your past

Rid yourself of the burden that has become a part of you

Let it go, and start afresh. Start in the actuality of your reality

The anchor of the past transforms into the holy grail of your present

And you need to unhook it, to let it go.
