Letting go...

by Beth - Scorpio

I could shed a tear
it would be so easy to do
But first
I would have to remember
how to cry...
Looking at myself
through a crack rear view mirror
at the girl I once was
the woman I now am
realising how much
I still feel like that girl
deep down inside....
Confidence like sand
I reach for a handful
but slowly 
it slips through my fingers
Falling in neat little piles
at my feet....
Hands empty
eyes staring through fingers
that once held
me.
That cracked rear view mirror
showing fractures
I thought I had healed
and yet
through the cracks
I see those
old tired fragments
of the same old tired pain
maybe if I let it go
I can mourn the girl I once was
and learn to love
the woman I am.
