it is ok
 to let go of anger
 to quietly forgive those 
 who hurt you in the past
 this is a gift -
 for you. not for them.
 to step out of resentment
 to release yourself
 from the shackles
 of disappointment 
 to be alive inside your skin,
 again.
 to grow freely. like the flowers.
 rising up to the sunlight
 stretching out tall
 feeling hope flood in.
 remembering what it feels like
 to move smoothly,
 exist in the world
 without the burden
 of pain riding your shoulders
 to be weightless. in the best way.
 go on. fly free.
 it is ok.
