MUST LET GO -Poetry

I see the trees. I see the sky

I close my eyes, and I try to fly.

And then I see my chains in the world around me,

And my schedule binds me down.

Oh, life.

What is living?

Can I break through the restrictions I place on me?

Can I release the expectations and set myself free?

I remember the child when I knew how to live.

I close my eyes and try to forgive.

And then I see the simplicity I used to know.

And my chaotic life, I must let go.

Oh life,

What is living?

Can I break through the restrictions I place on me?

Can I release the expectations and set myself free?
