Simply Let Go

Simply Let Go

Somewhere between universes, alternate plains of existence,

Not grounded, nor floating

Drifting between a heavy-laden and unencumbered reality

This time, there is no solution

This time, it is purely survival

Should my feet touch the ground and my head cease to spin

All my beliefs would suddenly come to a halt

Should I choose to take flight and surrender my soul

I risk being carried away into the abyss

Without struggle

Without want of companionship

Without regret

Simply let go

I have come to the realization that the psyche works in spite of the being

I have come to the understanding that I understand nothing

And I have arrived at the threshold of what can only be described as utter confusion

Helplessness

Hopelessness

Desolation

Despite what we are told, we walk alone

The foundations that I have known to be true

I have held tightly to my bosom throughout the years

The foundations of love, loyalty, solidarity, compassion, and grace

And then as instantly, as abruptly, as suddenly as the stopping of my heart

They become falsehoods, and I let go

Without struggle

Without want of companionship

Without regret

Simply let go

And I am left to coast along, not fully conscious, not entirely present

Just simply existing in a semi-lucid state, programmed and manipulated

And whether by external force or internal drive, I have placed my vessel on auto-control

And I let go

Without struggle

Without want of companionship

Without regret

Simply let go
