I Just Need To Let Go Poem by Alex Perez

My life has been a journey I really don't want to remember; like the past it pulls me back, an act; in which I don't want to play the part, an art I don't want to draw, above all it kills me and no longer thrills me, I just need to let go.
Can't think of one time I had the support of my family if anything it was more of an obligation; a relation connected by blood, a kindness without love, a speech without voice; now that's the choice I have to make, I just need to let go.
With friends there's not much to say except hi, but between you and I; when I speak I get no reply, so I cry and I try to converse it's hard when no one is listening it leaves my eyes glistening with tears that’s the pain I dealt with over the years. I just need to let go.
I bite my lip and take a grip of hope and a sip of ambition, leaning towards a transition; now things seem easy but instead it leaves me frightened to not know where I’ll end up. I just need to let go.
I pray, putting my hands together and whether it works or not; it’s all I got, so hear me when I say I put aside my childish ways and it pays to have hope but I can’t cope with reality. I just need to let go.
Now with my hands free I can see; life’s not about quitting or letting go, not about what you get in the end but the journey that takes you there. So I finally realize. I’ll never let go.
