I let go

I let go of all that is holding me back.
I let go of all that is making me unhappy
I let go of all that is making me cry
I let go of all that is making me wish I wasn't alive.
I am letting go of my wish to please everyone.

The “Shoulds” and the “Woulds”

I am tired of the “shoulds” n the “woulds”

When will they end?

I am older now but they still keep creeping back in

No more a child let me think with my own mind

Being a woman, doesn’t mean I have no mind to think

And a heart to feel.

My heart is crying out loud, Let me Live!

Let me feel what is right or wrong.

I am nobody’s slave or a prisoner to another’s “should”!

I can think with my own mind and feel with my own heart!

Alas! Please Let me live n breathe, Let me be free…

Tired of the “shoulds” n the “woulds”
