I release

I have resolved that I will need this as a release for all that is unspoken. I know that saying it aloud to myself here is the best way to conquer my fears...

All the hurt: I release
All the lies: I release
The memories that have trapped me in fear and shame: I release
The broken promises that have not, and my not ever be fulfilled: I release

I refuse to be held captive by that which has no right to own me.

Fear: I release you. I release you knowing that I will have to let you go again and again, for you are my enemy.  You are a foe greater than anything I have ever known.

Fear: I release you
Fear: I release you
Fear: I release you.
