Sinking

by Lyn Aribaca   Aug 27, 2023


Freedom is what I thought,
To reclaim all that I've lost.
Lost in a long time of self-neglect,
Now I plead to be free and let go.

Staying will not mend our brokenness,
Our scars are too deep to ignore.
We both know the warmth is gone,
Our ship is sinking and none of us can hold.

    This poem really captures the painful realization of needing to let go. It's raw and honest about the struggle to find freedom in moving on from something broken. Really poignant stuff.
