Poem: Let it GO

This was my entry for a Discord Spoken Word show. The theme was "Letting go".
I think I am getting better at scribbling my poems last minute.

He says, "She broke my heart 10 years ago and now I trust no woman!"

She says, "She told my secrets to others 4 years ago - I am still so angry at my friend."

I say - be sad, be mad but not for too long,Don't let emotions define you and become your new song.

Will u still be mad when I ask in 10 years,
Holding on to nothing but misery and tears.
Emotions - churning inside like the hottest cauldron,
Leaving you angry, lost, distrustful and forlorn.
Swirling around like a storm in your gut,
Only you getting hurt - while you are stuck in a rut.

Let’s be aware of our own emotional state,
But let it not overwhelm our lives nor dominate.
Do not create your future based on your past,
Negative emotions cause stress and will only exhaust.
Be aware of how you feel - to get out of this funk.
Just try to think differently, come on - have some spunk.

Detaching from those emotions, creates an invitation
for something exciting - a brand new creation.
New thoughts, new energies and a new opportunity,
Remembering your own strength and potentiality.

It takes practice and positivity, but in our hearts we know,
We must have faith in the outcome and just let it go.
Then the magic will start - I tell u no lie,
the cocoon will be broken and
the butterfly will fly.
