((((Letting Go)))) Poem by Kristin Nicole RothDavis

((((Letting Go))))

Rating: 3.4


You say you're missin' the Old days
Got me over here reminencin'
Mind all in a Haze
Then reality hits and I am reminded
Of your hateful ways.

You ask 'What does Kristin want? '
I respond silently: Your fist in my
Dreams to not Haunt...

Baby steps and deep breaths
Slowly but surely
My life will be beyond these
Unwanted depths.

I always told you if you kept
Treatin' me this way
I'd be half way across the world some day
Now look, you took me for granted
Three thousand miles later my
Feet are well planted!

No regrets here!
Definitely don't have your anger to fear
The walls surrounding my heart
Continue to slowly tumble apart.

Guess you fall into that category
Always wantin' someone else's glory
Never happy with what you have
Always one step behind
In hopes to gather what others don't find.

Life's been patiently waiting for me
Now I've made up my mind those days are gone
My hearts been set Free
Maybe forgiveness will help guide me
We'll just have to wait and see
'Cause from the point on,
I'm living life for ME!

Unwanted depths…heart walls…I hope forgiveness is helping to guide you and truly give you that freedom you desire.

This is brilliant Kristin, I felt a wonder tingle coursing through my whole body as I read it. You are doing the right thing, letting the past go with forgiveness and understanding, it is a pity the understanding often comes from a great distance of time or space, but it comes when it can be accepted and taken into the heart fully from my experience. Wonderful poem, smiling at you, your friend Tai
