Letting go...

Just a little something about this poem before we read it.... Most friends of mine ask me what inspired me to write a particular piece and so i thought starting with this poem i shall write a couple of lines saying what actually made me write it. Here goes.....

I find it very hard to let go of things, people, dreams...everything.....it takes me a while to understand that someone may not be a part of my life anymore..(...i usually blame it on my ever hopeful mind... :) ) so thats what inspired me to write this poem..... as a part of my healing process.......


When life mocks at you,
Takes away what you like.
When there is nothing u can do,
Except hope that all ends right.

You can scream, cry and agonize,
Over something that is no more.
Yearn for that winning prize,
Bruising your heart…making it sore.

Let it go, even if it takes all your might,
Even if it is yours to keep.
But don’t ever give up the fight,
There is nothing for you to weep.

Many a time one goes through,
Lost hopes and gut wrenching pain.
When there is nothing left to do,
But try and hold onto something in vain…

Through this darkness,
Shall hope prevail.
Despite the nasty mess,
You shall find your trail.

Letting go might almost kill,
It’s like throwing a part of your life away…
It requires an enormous amount of will,
Only if you love something can you set it free, on its way.

Believe in providence,
Believe you will get back what u set free.
Even when it doesn’t make any sense,
You got to follow and accept fate’s decree…

I make my own fate,
You can now tell me.
But many a man learnt it late,
That there are some things men can’t see…

What seems like the worst thing?
Can become the disguised boon.
Even though now your heart is wring,
You will be smiling quite soon.

Let go, my dear,
Don’t hold it so close.
There isn’t anything more to fear,
What have you got to lose?
