It's important to let go

Long was the night that grabbed all my tears
As I recalled for a moment a bundle of years
Memories from moments that held me in fear
Kept me their hostage: brought the past near.

Now it's the morning but it seems like the night
Some how the hours hadn't fallen out here alright
But I'll make all the effort to right what is wrong
So that the next morning I'll be singing a song.

Healing has stages and trauma has had it's day
Sometimes I'm feeling better; other times: away
When lost in hurt memories I become lost to the now
It's important to let go of the yesterday somehow
