Let Go

Let go, let go
of all that you've been trying to become -
the burden is too great for you,
the rules, the judgments,
the constant times of feeling tested
and, as it seems to you, coming up wanting

You can let it go -
you don't need to become anything.
Any shortcomings you have tallied
have been forgiven
in the light of the grand truth
of what you have always been -
whole and pure, shining
in the eyes of your creator.
