I've been so full of grief
For so many years
Old grief
Grieving past parts of myself
Not lost
Not forgotten
But released
No longer needed as I move forward
Grief for
Broken promises
Outdated dreams
Outgrown relationships
Buried deep in my hips
My lungs
My bones
A weight I can no longer carry with me
Like oil in the water
I let it rise
I light the match
And I set myself free
