On the hanging on

You are barely hanging on

Feeling over-used and worn out

A mistake

Without purpose

Not needed

Dead weight

A remnant of your former self

And unable to bring back life

No one noticing you are there

No one noticing if you were gone

But let me assure you

The hanging on isn’t your purpose

Being held is

And the release that you fear

That you are so painstakingly avoiding

Is actually what’s holding you back

Not holding you on

The connection is in the breaking

The letting go allows you to be held

Life is in the release
