Letting Go and Finding My Flow

This year
with fear
I bid adieu
to my career

Long days
underpaid
and disrespected
so home I stayed

This year
after much chagrin
I took a break
from my kin

Arguments lost
boundaries crossed
I tried for years
but paid a cost

This year I let go
of things that hurt
it wasn’t easy 
I’ll have you know

But space was made
for greater things
that both grounded me
and gave me wings

This year I learned
again to write
my passion flowed
both day and night

By letting go 
I made room for cheer
and that has made 
for a better year
