Letting Go..

Darkness creeps up, Trying to pull me back down, Back to this never ending void, Between reality and fiction, Slowly I feel the icy hands of death, Clutching at me, Making my veins run cold with fear, Fear that I will actually give in, Subduing to this feeling, Never being able to let go, Before it can fully take control, I suddenly feel this warmth, Spreading through me, Coursing like a raging river, Boiling my blood, Pushing back what was taking control, Then I realize, It's too early to quit, And not yet my time, Even though you are no longer here, Doesn't mean you're not with me, Pushing me to continue on, And to leave the past behind, Leaving behind the pain, The darkness, And the fear that I once had, Encouraging me to just be happy, To do the one thing I should have done, To let go of all that has me held me bound, Letting go is never easy, But it's not forgetting, It's choosing to keep fighting, For what makes you happy
