Letting Go

Stop holding on to everything,
Stop trying to make everything okay,
You don’t have to try and fix it all,
How is holding on going to help?
I know, darling, I know,
Today it’s really hurting,
I’ve been there, I’ve seen it all,
I know how bad it feels,
It’s worse than it’s ever been before,
And that means tomorrow can only be better.
So stop grabbing hold of painful memories,
Their jagged edges will only cut your sweet hands,
Let go of the hurt, the guilt and the pain,
And take hold of my hand instead.
