Letting Go the Butterfly

let it go

the sun is still shining outside

your life is spinning on and on without you
in jeweled colours, brilliant to behold

you've closed your eyes against them for too long

grow up

move on
it's time.

open your mind

open your fist
open your eyes

let the violins move you to tears

fall in love

let it go

see what your life would be, less connected

find peace,

in removing yourself from all the extracurricular

you will continue to breathe

stop thinking in status updates

pull the plug
take a breath, and pull the plug

on the insatiable desire to be connected

the connections you have

will mean more, that way
digital friendships leave your bones cold

it's going to be alright.

in the end, we'll all still be here.

you'll still be here. 
breathe in. 
open your fist.
breathe out.



let it go
