You Can Let Go

I have been hanging off a cliff

Scrabbling for purchase

Never daring to look down

Never daring to consider

What might happen if I fall

I have been hanging off a cliff

And I thought you were holding my hand

I have since realised

That I am holding yours

And dragging you in a direction you fear

If I let go, I may fall

I do not know if you will catch me

Perhaps you’re not able to

That’s okay

I have been hanging off a cliff

For a while now

And my arms are getting tired

I’m going to let go

I need you to let me

I know there are other hands who will catch me

And they will pull me back up
