Let Them Go

The old parts of you
The parts that you have outgrown
The parts that have failed you

Let them go.

The parts that have hurt you
The parts that you used to be
The pain that you used to own

Let it die.

The parts you hold onto
even now
The parts that are leaving you
as I write

Let them go.

The fear you are afraid to live without
The lies you tell yourself
The little you who is ready to pass

Let them die.

The process you struggled with for years
The old habits you’re changing
The “I’m sorrys” you’ve never received

Let them go.

The mother you never had
The father you never knew
The parents who were never there for you

Let them go.

The unanswered questions
The relationships with no closure
The regrets, the mistakes, the injustice

Let it go.

Your life is waiting for you
Your unimagined self is waiting for you
Your answers are waiting for you

to let them go
to let it be

to bravely step into the light
into the Now
onto the path that you are ready to walk
and learn what it means to truly

rest in peace.
