Letting Go
Posted September 2nd 2017 at 06:07 PM by CrusadingAvenger
Letting go.
It is the one thing
Most of us won't do.
It's not that we're not
Capable of letting go.
We'd just rather hold on
To all that sadness,
To all that bitterness,
To all that anger,
And sometimes, let it consume us.
How can we truly enjoy life
If we're never happy?
If we're always missing something?
If we're always angry?
When that person you don't want to see
Walks into the room
More than likely
You'll immediately want to leave
Instead of swallowing your pride
And forgiving that person
For whatever it is
That they did to you.
Now, forgiveness
Is not the same as saying
A simple sorry.
That's different.
By forgiving someone
For their wrongdoings
And not waiting for them
To say sorry to you,
You are doing yourself a favor
And letting go
Of all the hatred,
Of all the pain,
Of all the suffering,
That you've ever endured
With that person.
You're giving yourself peace
And freedom
And getting your life back
With no strings attached.
It's no surprise
That probably most
Will not do this
And rather let despair
Consume their whole life.
Of course, circumstances
Will vary for everyone.
However, if you have a grudge
Maybe with a friend
Maybe with a family member
Or with someone along the lines
Of those things,
Letting go is very possible.
You don't have to be with them
Or around them after forgiving
Those people.
Forgiveness is for your own
Peace of mind.
The next time you find yourself
Angry or very sad
About someone who won't change
Ask yourself...
Do I want to live a freedom lifestyle,
Or do I want to live in imprisonment?
