My Miracle

Today, I'm learning to let things go

    I can't hold on forever if I want to grow

    I'm starting in some little ways

    It'll get easier with passing days

    I thought about it hard and long

    wondering what I've been doing wrong

    I know it's not the destination,

    still, I'm feeling all this frustration

    How do I get from here to there

    The game of life is so unfair

    All of a sudden, an idea came

    Change doesn't come if you remain the same

    I'm putting this knowledge to real life use

    Becoming someone I'm proud to introduce

    So today, I'm learning to let things go

    I'm adaptable. I go with the flow

    So every day I'm saying goodbye

    to just one thing that makes me cry

    Pictures, messages, letters, and more

    Clinging to things that aren't mine anymore

    I think I'll start with this miracle plant

    Dead in a pot, home to an ant 

    I held on, hoping it would resurrect 

    Saying it'll come back just not yet

    tomorrow I think I'll say farewell

    to a little trinket from my time in hell

   I said I kept it so I won't forget

    a constant reminder of all the bad shit

    But why remind myself of all the pain

    Then, wonder why I feel insane

    hoping to grow, evolve, become

    feeling like I'm coming undone

    So today, I'm learning to let things go

    No more waiting till I finally grow

    today's the day I'm becoming me

    Letting go to set me free

    Today, I'm learning to let things go

    doing things is how I'll grow

    instead of becoming who I want to be

    today I'm happy being me
