I leave my car and rush for the rotting wooden stairs leading up to the sliding glass door I've entered through since I was a young child. My chest is tight with sorrow and trepidation, but it does not stave my hand from gripping and pulling at that door, pushing my way inside, and pushing back the sob that pulls at my throat.

How to Let Go
Bottled up bullshit got you down? Stiffened neck from the weighted crown? You want to know about catharsis? Thankfully, you came to the artist I wrote the book, you know The art of letting go Years of practice We been at this Giving a shit Til sick of it Replacing bad luck —Not giving a fuck So that pit in your gut... Guess what? No one else minds Living their daily grinds So just like them not caring 'bout you Just forget it too Relief don't come from constant worry So drop that shit- and hurry Time spent fixatin' and stressin' Just keeps you from your blessin' Under the crunch of concern Your soul just burns Trapped in your mind The problem rewinds Take a lesson from the professor of profanity Clear your damn insanity Remember you deserve a little treat Reward yourself with something sweet Self-care's super important, right? So let's get fucked up tonight! T-Swizzle said it best Cause, you're gonna Shake It Off next Get dressed up and feelin' hot A fix-all— one more shot Liquid courage in a short glass Then go shake your ass The problem is obviously thinking Like most, it's easily solved by drinking Take a deep breath in and spit it back out Then drink until you black out Gone are the dark thoughts and slurs Replaced with dark droughts and blurs Party it out, bump and thrive How'd I get home? Did I drive? Stumble into bed Last thing before a pounding head Wake up stiff and pissed Cross the old problem off the list. Replace it with the new one. Coyote ugly, what have I done?
