Is it easy to let go? A question that echoes in my mind As I navigate the tumultuous waters Of relationships and connections I am a master of detachment A skill honed through years of practice I can walk away without a second thought Leaving behind memories and emotions But does that make it easy? To sever ties and move on To pretend that I am unaffected By the absence of their presence I tell myself it is for the best That letting go is a form of self-preservation But deep down I know the truth That it is a defense mechanism I am afraid of being vulnerable Of letting someone in Only to be hurt in the end So I push them away before they can do the same to me But in doing so, I deny myself The possibility of true connection Of experiencing love and joy In its purest form I wonder if I am making a mistake By closing myself off By refusing to let go of my fears And embrace the unknown But old habits die hard And I cling to my walls Afraid to let them crumble And expose myself to the pain I know deep down that letting go Is not easy for anyone It requires strength and courage To face the unknown with open arms So I continue to push people away To protect myself from hurt But deep down I long for connection For someone to break down my barriers Perhaps one day I will find the courage To let go of my fears And embrace the vulnerability That comes with true love But until then, I will continue To walk the path of detachment And wonder if it is truly easy To let go.

Drew this one lastnight it's not perfect. The hardest part was writing the poem. Now it's your turn write a poem about my drawing.

Wishing well dreams you hear Whispered just for you to be clear Tossed my penny made my wish Patiently waiting to be served as a dish I wait but it doesn’t come, wait more I hate waiting, please enter the door In my head your voice I still here In my heart longing brings tears Unsure of what will ever become Soon my spirit drops hope slums Whispers shout turn away go I can’t give up on this love now I know Wishing well will I ever have it granted Will I be without you forever stranded?
