Letting Go

Letting Go

Why is so hard
to let go
of the worst of you?
Why do we cling to things
that mean us no good.
We battle the demons
that have no power
because we holder tighter
to things that would devour
the progress we made.
Why is it so easy
to make ourselves small
to crawl when we could run
to bow
when we could stand tall
unmovable
unbreakable
unstoppable.
