Analysis of Letting Go
A life created for beauty and fullness but instead cut down with pain and brokenness.
A life meant to know happiness but only seen sadness.
A life meant for love and compassion but only know pain and deception.
A heart created to love so deeply yet only experience brokenness and rejection.
But what was cut down can grow again.
What was broken can be mended.
What was stained by tears of sorrow can be washed clean.
Let go of what tried to break you and believe you are stronger.
Let go of the darkness that tried to drown you and swim towards The Light.
They saw your strength and it brought them fear so they tried to take you down.
But the power inside you is stronger than anything on the outside.
Rise above lovely one and know you are not broken, you have been transformed into a mosaic.
