Can I Let Go
When my teeth grit with rage,
the thoughts splitting like lightening,
Can I let go?
When my friend becomes an opponent
and my good intentions are thwarted,
Can I let go?
When people despise what is good,
and spit in the eyes that care,
Can I let go?
When my best intentions are
interpreted as slander,
Can I let go?
When an impostor is promoted
in my place,
When the years of loyalty are
met with disgrace,
Can I let go?
This certainly mirrors my sentiments... Had I written it, it would be a flurry of words but puts the feelings in a real, short and concise way :)
ReplyDeleteOw, all thoughts worth pondering. I do love being made to think. X
ReplyDeleteRich in rhythm and musicality. Would be a great performance piece.
ReplyDeleteGood question! Love the way the repetition builds up the feelings of rage.
