Analysis of Letting Go
Lend me your hand, simply mess-up my hair.
I’m so tired of the ongoing brain,
this senseless mill, grinding on a past pair.
Give me a push, force me to just restrain,
so I will thus pay attention once again
at what binds me, apart from deep disgrace.
Reject for real, so I can leave this place
where I don’t live, blind and deaf in a low,
fully blocked from pleasure and space.
Unlock my smile, break it and let me go.
