When the mind is entangled
With thoughts, worries and pain
Past regrets, we cannot change
Anxiety of the future, we cannot see
During such moments of chaos and confusion
We are desperate to find an immediate solution
Break the pattern and pause to reflect
Letting go will keep the anxiety under check
Do not hold too tightly
Let the ones who want to go, go
For life will go on for the world without them
But holding on for long will only create mayhem
There is so much more to life each day
Life is fun if we keep the negativity away…!
