Release

My ocean's depth corrupt by bloody tears
from the sorrow wounds of my eyes
my vessel is shattering in this
struggle of a stride
Blinded by muddy waters
praying for resolution to mend me whole
in clean waters
To uplift my soul to the sky for renewal

I held on so tight
I clenched my own breath
by letting you go
even though you were cruel to my heart
I realized I was squeezing my own life
Now I open my bright eyes and see you are
the core to this madness

I let go
feel the sun's warm rays kiss me softly
and I know after this day
Love with come my way

You go from the pain and darkness to to light after letting go. Well done!

The style of your writing really reminds me of my own thought processes. I really like this poem because of that reason, and I think the only thing that really needs revisions is maybe some punctuation here and there, but at the same time I really like it as is. "I clenched my own breath by letting you go" really speaks to me, and "I realized I was squeezing my own life" also does, too. It shows a coming-to-terms tone and now you're breathing through it and telling yourself that this is hardly the end. Great write
