To truly “let go” you must rise up and growl
Then give out a howl
Lick wounds for awhile…stew in your woes.
Just don’t throw in the towel; better…
Do know your limits, don’t limit your “No”s!

Till finally, most humbly, hmm…
What do you know?
Those critical voices bow down to fresh choices:
A “black or white” psyche begins to give way
To a mind now dancing with bright shades of gray.

So “strive high, embrace failure”
Jump into the fray
Still learning to fight another day.
For when you let go to life’s ebb and flow
You will even know when it’s time to eat crow!
