letting go

sometimes it feels like everything's bringing you down, but your fears and thoughts should never hold you back from the real you.

sometimes it feels like you're

the second choice, the

one cast aside, the invisible girl

sometimes it feels like all you want

is to fit in, to be known

just you wait

one of the best things in life

is when you realize

you can be happy without

the things you thought

you needed

the most

it's a struggle that never ends

but remember that beautiful things

never ask for attention

and that a bird sings because

it has a song

when you know your worth

no one can make you feel worthless

nothing holds you back

more than

your own 

insecurities

what you don't realize is that

you're not afraid of

the future

you just don't want

to repeat the past

but don't you worry

the things that happened

have been left in the past

your mistakes

will never

define you

and you should just try to live

a little bit more, think about

the things that matter

and live for the moments

that are indescribable

can't be felt by words

your battle

is you and your heart

embrace it

it's time to

let go

Author's Note

this was an interesting experiment, because i went on pinterest, searched up inspirational quotes, and found a few of my favorites that matched, and used them to write this poem. what i did was take the quotes, incorporate some of the words inside, and add my own. the format is a bit messy because that's just how people feel on the inside: messy. i hope you enjoy!
