Letting Go

I was holding on so tight I couldn’t see the pain

Squeezing every wound, hoping I would gain

But every time I wrapped around

The cut went deeper in the ground

Thought I was fighting, thought I was strong

But I was standing still all along

It’s hard to see when you’re in the fight

But holding you doesn’t make it right

Every breath I take just proves

It’s time to choose

I’m letting go of what’s cutting me down

I won’t be the one still bleeding on the ground

You took my strength — I’m taking it back

No more gripping the blade like that

I’m letting go, I’m letting go

No more holding what hurts me so

I thought staying proved I was strong

But the longer I stayed, the more it felt wrong

You were the saw I wouldn’t release

Now I see letting go brings peace

I thought revenge would ease the sting

But it only tightened everything

The tighter I held, the less I learned

Now I rise from what once burned

Clarity comes when you unclench your hands

Freedom begins when you understand

(bigger, lift)

I’m letting go of what’s cutting me down

No more silence, no more drowning sound

You drained my light — I found it again

This is where my healing begins

I’m letting go, I’m moving on

No more hurting, no more holding on

(confident, calm)

I’m safe. I’m strong.

I’m finally gone.
