Letting go is not so easy,
In fact it's the hardest part.
For so long I've been greedy,
By ripping it all apart.
So many memories cloud my mind;
I need you to be near...
It hurts to leave you behind;
I'm nearing my greatest fear.
I will walk along,
Try to hum a song.
I will walk along,
Try to find somewhere to belong.
I just can't fit in,
Not anywhere...
I know I can't win,
And it's just not fair.
But I will try,
Try not to cry...
And I will try,
Try to fly.
do all people who feel they do not 'fit in' become poets? ...or put in another way...do all poets not fit in? ...is it their way of finding a meaning in life? ...i never fitted in...and i have been a poet for just two months...but speak my mind i always did...and thats why i dint fit! ! ! ...lol...love...nalini
Hi Lesa, I want to start over and I am scared. I feel like you I guess. I can relate to this poem. It is difficult to move on. We get comfortable in life regardless if were unhappy because that is what were are familar with. The unknown is scary. For me anyways. Excellent poem, take care.

This is so heartfelt - I am right in that place now - letting go - I am afraid to let go of what was the best years of my life. Beautiful poem. Charmaine x
One thing for sure even when you wrote this at a young age, is how all the onset of every emotion is displayed here, the fear, the insecurity, the anger, the regret. What makes a poem fantastic, even when its written at a young age or theres few words, is when the truth of how you feel is displayed, its the most captivating of every sensation, thats human emotion, dont you sometimes wish we didnt have any!
