Just Let Go

Falling into the depths
Of all my insecurities and pain,
It is easy to try and grab onto
Slippery sides and jagged edges
Of temporary illusional relief.

But ultimately their proffered safety
Only serves to hinder me,
Keeping me from the dark place
I'm destined to decend into.

For only when I hit bottom
And land on my demons, and slay my dragon,
Can I become my own hero,
Able to crawl back out on rocks of truth
And live finally in the wisdom of my own light.
