I don’t

want to hide anymore and I just want to let the  tears fall.

For letting it all out is better than keeping it all inside.

So over being tough and yet still feeling so weak because there is so much I can’t change.

The time to figure everything out has come and yet all I feel is I need a break and I don’t want to work towards finishing what I’ve started because that’s what I always do.

Why would this time be any different then the times before.

I’m no better than that girl that I used to be and there doubt is to show it’s ugly face when things are going so good.

And the truth is I just want to let doubt win for who is to say I will make it even if I beat doubt this time.

It might hold more power on the next round  I know it will come again and  I just don’t know if I willing to fight it again.

I’ve said

my peace and now it’s time for you to let me go. 

The memories float away from me as the years pass. 

And, yes from time to time something flashes through my mind but I don’t miss you anymore. 

So I walk away from the things that remind me of the things no longer in my life. 

Sometimes when it’s been one of those days I catch myself thinking about how I miss you. 

But, I know the reason your no longer apart of my life and I’ve accepted that truth a longtime ago. 

The things that I thought were important and would last forever was quickly smashed that night. 

So many pieces that I had to clean up and forget about for today is the present. 

Holding on to too much would drive one crazy and the hole that is barely there would be too big to bear alone. 

I cared about you and I loved you but, the peace in the long run is the fresh air I breath now.
