Clarity

Let it pass

like a missed punch

Let it slide

like a hand down a back

Let it be

like a child falling asleep

Let it go

like a handful of leaves

It was so simple

Let it pass

like time on a walk

Let it slide

like pink tongue over ice cream

Let it be

like holding a friend

Let it go

like regret held too long

That I laughed

Let it pass

like a hand through hair

Let it slide

like rain off a broken wing

Let it be

like a Beatles song

Let it go

like jumping out of a swing

Out loud.

Let it pass

like breath over lips

Let it slide

like a first mistake

Let it be

like silence

Let it go

like laughing for no reason at all

Stop trying so hard.
