let go. {reverb10 – day 5}
::
What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why?
::
Mostly, I let go of fear.
Fear that I’m not good enough.
Fear that I am good enough.
Fear that this is all there is. That there might be something more.
That life will be pass me by and when I reach the end of the road
I will still be saying, someday.
Fear that when I look in the mirror I won’t recognize
the eyes staring back at me.
Or the wrinkles.
Fear that I can’t handle loss, fear of what I might find.
Fear that I am who I am.
And that everyone else is who they are.
Fear that so much of the time, it is too late.
I opened my hand and my heart
and let all the fear fly out,
like starlings.
They’re all up in the sky now, those fears.
Swooping and soaring
in a symphony
of not afraid.
