Still holding on, unable to let go, clutching hot coals, trying to hurt them back, but ending up burned and hurt again. Shouting it out aloud, but does it make sense? Why be hard on yourself, locking yourself up, making the problem bigger with each memory, promising to never let them off scot-free? You're hurting yourself, hitting your head against walls all over again.

Stop hurting, stop thinking, let it go! Being defensive won't solve anything. Maybe you were a little bit wrong too. Hold back, stop being defensive. Throwing blame won't solve the problem. What's the point? Stop it, don't hold on too long. The more you hold, the more you hurt and hate.

Why rob yourself of peace? Why choose pain when you have a choice? They may never come back to apologize, but how long will you wait? Why be pathetic, miserable, unforgiving, and hard on yourself, chained to misery.

You have the power to let go! Let it go, and find strength in freedom: peace, happiness, love, healing. What's the point of holding on to pain, anger, and hatred, seeking revenge? More pain, regret, and hurt.

Take a deep breath, let it out, let it go. Now, be whole, break free, accept your mistakes, forgive yourself, forgive them, take another deep breath, and heal. Peace is here. Let it go!
