Let It Go Poem by Lissa Parks

Why Let it go...
Some of things in my
life, I will not let go of...
I've been bullied, abused,
over and over again.

I can be mean sometimes
And other times I'll be nice
to your face.
Letting go means to me
that everything is fine
and its not.

I battle with my mind
everyday.
Some thoughts are scarier
than others.
I feel like there's demonic
in side of me.
Taking over my body.

The demonic who leads
me down this awful
road and its laughing
as it goes.

Letting this thing inside
of me go
It's just not wanting to
leave.
It took me down a path
where I thought I was going
to die.

It keeps saying "I'm going to
win, I'm going to win.
And you're not going to
let it go."
