I’m learning to let go
of all my hopeless dreams.
I’ll be the first to admit
that it’s not as easy as it seems.
I thought that it would be simple
to leave these desires behind,
but visions of how it should be
forever haunt my mind.
I can’t say that I’m not happy.
It’s bittersweet in a kind of way.
I know that this is for the best,
no matter what my feelings say.
I know I can’t deliver
what my desire craves,
so I’ll just step on back.
I’ll stay out of the way.
If it’s for a better outcome,
then I can stand a little pain,
for there can never be any sunshine
without a little rain.
