Let It Go

What is real?
What is false?
What is make-believe?

Strive to deal
with all my faults,
garner some reprieve.

I sympathize
with your desire
to relive all your dreams;

please realize
you can’t inspire
those who love extremes.

Cold hand of fate
with steely grip
determining our path—

release the hate,
work through hardship,
exterminate the wrath.
