letting go of these old things
special times that used to be
letting go of holding on
to the illusions that I once came from
boxes and bags to give away
to find a little lighter way
what I needed to pretend
that I was more than what I am
I am not the coverup
I am not the makeup and all that stuff
I am what I am behind the mask
and the am is timeless past the past
ever changing throughout this life
different stages at each point
of becoming this and being that
all trying to express a better path
the I am that I am
is at the heart of my life
for in that open space
I find the eternal light
and in letting go i find
there is much more space
to find what's important to face
and the power of amazing grace
I thank the Lord and Mother Mary too
for helping me to pry loose the past
and free me from the chains of the past
to help me find its Gods love that lasts
