Let Me Be - a poem about relinquishing control

Let Me Be

Here it is.
The letting go.
The chapter closing.
The clench unfolding.

What broke within
remains in pieces,
but also at peace,
the way it should be.

I rest.
I breathe.
I dream.

Future pages may bring the closure I seek
or they may just bring more tragedy to me.
Maybe even something frustratingly in-between.
But I won't try to manipulate the possibilities.

Here, I am not the writer.
I accept what fate has deemed
fitting for my story arc
and poetic for the screen.

I let you go
to let me be.
