let go

She stands alone on her own two feet
In an attempt to find a life,
A life that this world cannot offer her.

Like a song she knows the words to but has never heard before,
She is so close to the melody,
If only she would hum along and allow herself to sing.

The fear that grips her soul is merely a block,
To everything that is within reach,
If only she would allow herself to let go.
