Let go

the thoughts in my mind

are like the deep blue sea

but the words i say out loud

are a mere drop of water

i have many friends

as sweet as roses

but holding on to their thorny stems scars me

but at least they're not the (pain-free) orchids

the day i find my person

i will let go and my words will cause a tsunami

and my finger-tips will cease to bleed

i will soar high

like a bird

finally freed

from its prison
