I let go of you

Poem

Hearing myself now,

While my heartbeats are loud,

Standing here in truth,

Surrendering to the immature of youth,

To become enlightened by those old and new,

It's here in this moment of life that hold the clues,

That if one wants to grow, and be true,

One has to let go of the ego to become superior to the version they once knew,

As someone who isn't one to let go of their past as easily as others, I really do relate to this poem alot. I really liked the flow of this poem and it's impact on me. Loved it! <3
