I know it is daunting
To let go of things and spaces
That have defined your soul for so long
But they no longer serve the purpose
Of adding onto your happiness
So what exactly are we grieving for here?
I know right now you can't see
The green forest for that one haunting tree
That you have climbed, ran around, and called your own
But it has since grown thorns and cut your heart
And its blooms wither as shadows stand still
So what exactly are we waiting for here?
I know of those countless arguments
That you have tried to reason
with those voices in your head
- they don't care, they don't listen
Pointless all - it is yesterday, it has happened
So what exactly are we hanging onto here?
Open your heart, open your eyes
Unclench your fists, and open your hand
And let it fall - let it all float away
And just breathe slowly - go on, and exhale
Those broken dreams - leave them all behind
And just take a step towards the sunrise.
