Release

An ode to letting go

Release is peace. You’ll feel at ease if you just let go.

Life is a tug of war, but also something you should let flow.

Doing the same thing over with hope for difference is insane.

It’s time you free yourself from that mental pain.

Trapped by the temptations you refuse to resist.

Until you choose to let go the pain won’t cease to exist.

You’re walking the earth with a chain around your heart.

I think it’s high time for the pain and you to part.

If you want tranquility in your life to increase.

Be willing to release that which you grip and give yourself peace.
