Whisper Yes Jan 2018
As she screamed
Everything she knew fell away
As she screamed
She screamed herself into a new reality
As she screamed and screamed and screamed
Every old outdated insidious pattern let go
She screamed her way to freedom
She screamed until it all cracked
All the thoughts and questions and fears cracked
Her scream penetrated everything
She screamed and screamed and screamed
Until she was empty
Empty of everything she had ever swallowed down
Empty of every unsaid
Empty of the rage and terror and the desire to hurt
Empty
Empty
Empty

You always point out every flaw
Always reminding me of everything I do wrong
You never cared how I felt
Always comparing me to someone else
I already know how stupid I am
Believe me I’ve been told enough times
That’s why I want to move away from you
You’ve made me feel alone
While still saying you’re my friend
I cared that you didn’t
That was my problem
The hardest part about letting go is that
I’ll never hear you running after me
Long into the snow
Stara Jan 2018
Used to your pattern
Yet I still drown in the pain
Re-finding my strength
The strength to love you, and to walk away.

I want you close,
Actually closer.
Where our skins are
Touching one another.
Then after, our hands
Will align with each other.
Maybe now we're close,
Too close to let go.
But I don't want to let go,
Because I want you more closer.
Kris Balubar Jan 2018
No one says it will be easy.
You just have to be strong.
So let go, let go of it.
And you'll see your worth.

No one says it won't hurt.
You just have to be ready.
So let go, let go of it.
And you'll see you deserve more.

No one says you have to stay.
You just have to let it go.
So let go, let go of it.
And you'll see you'll be happy.

I just want to be happy today
I don't care if this feeling doesn't last until tomorrow

I just want to grow a pair of wings
and fly with you

I just want to feel peace
lingering from my mind

I just want to inhale
something other than overthinking
and cold dry air.
Just how I felt about last night.

we gotta learn to let go
of all the hardships and aching
we gotta learn to dream bigger
and think of a brighter waking

we gotta learn to play fast
keep up with the world around us
we gotta learn to fight back
or to not make a fuss

we gotta learn to endure
ignore the stares and shaking
we gotta learn to guard yourself
never let yourself start breaking

you gotta learn to let go
because if you don't, you will hurt so much more than if you attempted to hold on

Her fingers slither and slide atop my heart
Clinching at the neck
As my father would
With no remorse for the bruises
Or constant aches I awaken to

Every beat captured and confined
The walls filled with jars of the echoing
Never to be heard or reckoned with
Prisoner of my long lost love

I gave you my heart, Without knowing someday I'd have to move on
Shakeled and shredded, it's beat to a pulp
Confined to quarters
Where light simply cannot go

Even if I should move on
I don't think I can
Because darling
I made the biggest mistakes of my life
Loving you and letting go

when i think of last summer
i smell the scent of chlorine filling my lungs
i feel the warm sun coloring my shoulders
i hear the lawn mower running next door
i love these things
because they remind me of you
but i hate these things
because they remind me of you
i can’t choose
what i remember
and what i forget    
i smell the aroma of your cologne
i feel your arm around me
i hear you singing all the songs on the radio
and no matter what i do
i can’t let myself
let go
of what was

maybe i’ll never know
what will be
maybe i’ll find myself
living in the past
i guess
the past is comfortable to me
a poem written for my english class, i hope you enjoy :)
