Sometimes

Sometimes 

When you are trying 

To hold on too tight

What you need to do 

Is just let go

And release

It all

And let the pieces fall 

Where they might

You may just break

A little 

Or a lot

You may just 

Altogether

Come undone 

But maybe that is 

Okay...

In order 

To grow

And 

To know

One must first 

Unlearn

The old

And learn

The new

So that 

One may

Renew

Redefine

And walk on

To being

A whole new

Even more authentic

And true 

You
