Far from a shared state
Screaming out as you wait
Trying to let go of sadness
As you throw away hate
Still not knowing your potential fate
Let go of your past
Let go of your future
Let go of your sorrow
Let go of the New Year
For it is not happening
It is not here
It is not anywhere
It is not near
You write to a beat, the one inside you
You write to a story, letting the words guide you
Asking for forgiveness
Asking for answers
Asking for questions
Fearing the man’s lour
Who does he lour
If only you hear him
Who does he bother
When it is you that fear him
Let go you beg
Let go you ask
As you sip what heaven gives you
A seemingly daunting task
