hmm

sometimes you have to
let go of what you love.
or who you love, and
step back, and recover
the loss of who you
were in trying so hard
to get what you wanted.
there must be happiness
within and without those
things that seem so
precious, so necessary,
but it isn't really so.
what point is there in
losing your soul to gain
the world that you so
crazily think you need
and can't live without.
