Letting Go
Writing about release—people, expectations, guilt, old versions of the future, and the things we eventually stop carrying because they have already taken enough.
-
A woman looks back at everything she tried to keep alive and finally names the last thing she ever owed the person who kept hurting her.
-
A poem about leaving almost everything behind and refusing to abandon yourself.
-
A poem about mourning who someone might have become before finally letting go of who they were.
-
An old observer can look through the glass, but the woman they remember has already rebuilt herself somewhere beyond reach.
-
Choosing joy does not erase old pain; it simply refuses to let every bruise, promise, and goodbye own the rest of the story.
-
A repeating cycle of hurt, apology, hope, and return finally breaks when she stops waiting for the next apology to save it.
