The Let Go

I've been strangling myself with what ifs

but you won't find any marks on my neck

because questions don't leave marks

They slip into the body through osmosis
because they're fluid like water
and like water they can wear anything down

I've been seeking answers as antidotes
but alchemy abides by a law of equivalents
and I can only exchange more questions

That's the very nature of a circle
it has no clear beginning or ending
but that has never stopped it from existing

I've been learning the beauty of letting go
that's the only real answer I've found
to these questions I never wanted to ask
