let it go


inhala, exhala

breathe in, breathe out

count to ten and walk away

it doesn't matter what they say

 

inhala, exhala

in and out

you're better than this

no matter what they hiss

 

inhala, exhala

just take another breath

if you can do this you'll make it known

just how much you have grown

 

inhala, exhala

breathe in, breath out

a child might scream and more

but you have learned to ignore

 

so much the better you will fare

once you learn not to care
