It’s Hard To Say Goodbye
Let them go with grace — their job is done
We win, we lose, we start, we stop
We battle and struggle awhile,
Decipher the lessons you’ve learnt
In your experiences and trials.
***
Every person that we meet
Is there for a particular reason,
They will waltz into your life
Staying for years or just a season.
***
It’s all dependent on your needs
Don’t mistake this as your desire,
As they are both totally different
Needs not wants are what’s required.
***
People will be embedded in your life
Until you discover and learn why,
Then they’ll waltz back out again
At times without that goodbye.
***
There’s no point in fighting this
It’s important you let them go,
They’ve done what they come for
And deep in your heart you know.
***
Mourn them if need be
Spend the time you need to cry,
Heal your shattered heart
Feel each emotion that applies.
***
Do not struggle, just accept
This is not the time to deny,
Be strong, be brave, smile
Send them off with a goodbye.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

beautiful poem.
Aye. Accept what you cannot change. Karma cannot be fought, it only prolongs the suffering.
This really hit home with me, especially with my life right now. Thank you for sharing.
