When I think of you being gone

I don’t think of grief and sadness

I get a sense of relief and gladness

To be free from you

And the misery you bring

    Letting go is hard for me.. but sometimes, yeah.. anyway this made me laugh which probably wasn’t your intention..we all bring our own meanings to things. Regardless, this was unexpectedly cutting - and that worked very well! 👏

    I agree with Randy. Well said and good riddance to pain, bring on the light.

  • This seems to be a theme of late. But no one has said it more succinctly or better.

    That was powerful, like a kick. Fantastic.

  • Short and sweet, but a BIG vibe here.
