Let It Go (composed in Eng 251)

Screaming by the cliff’s edge
I let it all go.
The anger leaves my body
In sound waves.
Sound waves that bounce
From rock to rock.
I disturb the sleeping
Seagulls who fly away
From the pain
I just let go.
I let it all go.
I scream a second time,
This time for fear,
I let that go too.
A squirrel scurries
Away from my fear,
Hiding.
I let it all go
And then feel as though
I could fly.
I no longer hold the weight
Of the world on my shoulders.
I let it all go.
