relinquish

relinquish all those bad memories the ones you dwell upon everyday cannot come with you there’s nothing you can do about them now leave them behind in a burlap sack tie it up and toss it into the river with wild dogs inside pray the water chills them to the bone all those you hold dear hold tighter they are your raft, your fire, and the sum of all your love love harder don’t lose your head don’t lose your breath but lose your fear you are not obligated to care about what others think of you -s.b.
