Medium Poems

1. “Letting Go”
I’m learning to let go
Of all that was before
The memories and moments
That I’ll never have once more

Despite the pain it brings
I know it’s for the best
To accept what’s left behind
And move on with the rest

It’s not an easy journey
But one that I must take
For every step I make
Is a chance to heal and make

A new life for myself
One that’s filled with grace
And though I may stumble
I’ll always find my place

In this world that’s ever-changing
One thing will always be true
I’ll keep moving forward
And let go of what’s past and through

2. “The Road Ahead”
The road ahead is winding
And I can’t see the end
But I know that I must keep going
And never bend or break or bend

For the journey is the purpose
And every step I take
Is a chance to find my footing
And a new path to make

It’s not always easy
And sometimes I may fall
But with each obstacle I conquer
I’ll become stronger through it all

So I’ll keep moving forward
Until my journey’s done
And when I finally reach the end
I’ll know that I have won

3. “New Beginnings”
Out with the old, in with the new
A chance to start again
To shake off the dust and cobwebs
And embrace what’s yet to begin

With each passing moment
I’ll find a new way to grow
And though the future is unknown
It’s a thrill that I can’t let go

For every ending is a beginning
And every goodbye is hello
To a life that’s full of adventure
And joys that I’ll come to know

So here’s to new beginnings
And all that they entail
As I step into the future
With a heart that’s strong and full of will.

Long Poems

Letting Go

The weight of your memory,
Heavy on my chest,
As I try to move forward,
And put the past to rest.

It’s hard to forget
All those happy times,
The laughter and love,
That once were purely mine.

But things have changed,
And I must let you go,
The future calls to me,
And I can’t keep holding onto the old.

The memories we shared
Will forever be cherished,
But holding onto them too tight
Will only leave me perished.

I refuse to stay stuck,
In this cycle of pain,
My heart needs to heal
And I must break this chain.

I will find someone else,
Who will love me the right way,
And I’ll make new memories
That will never fade away.

So I say goodbye now,
Though it hurts to walk away,
But I know deep in my heart
It’s the right choice to make.

I’ll always wish you well,
And hold you in high esteem,
But it’s time for me to move on
And finally chase my dreams.

I’ll remember our time together,
And smile at the good times,
But I won’t let the past
Hold me captive in my mind.

I’m free to love again,
And to start anew,
It’s time to close this chapter
And begin the next with you.

So farewell, my love,
And thank you for the ride,
But it’s time for me to let go,
And create a new life.
