Letting Go Poem by Akshata Rao

It takes only a blink of an eye,
To watch your life pass you by.
Although, it might take a while,
You'd learn to smile.
And Embrace the changes in your life
Moments of delight, struggle and strife.

It's hard to let go,
What was once yours to hold.
Lost and confused, you question.
Is change really a good thing to happen?
Leaving behind a world you understood
Where you knew what you should do and what you could.

I've no answers but I've hope.
That Life wouldn't push me down without a safety rope.
To cling onto and climb up once more
And lead me to places I've never been before.

After all, to let in something new
I've got to let go of something too
With cherished memories still by my side,
I await new dreams to come true.
