Today’s the day
I finally realize
I'm perfectly fine

Today’s the day
I finally realize
We weren’t meant to be

Today’s the day
I finally realize
I can live without you

Today’s the day
I finally realize
You’re no longer on my mind

Today’s the day
I finally realize
My heart no longer beats for you

Today’s the day
I finally realize
Life is so much better without you
Today’s the day
I finally realize
It’s been 200 days
And I’m doing just fine

Today’s the day
I finally realize
I no longer dedicate my heart to you

Today’s the day
I finally let go
I’m finally set free
I’m finally over you
And I’m able to love again

200 days later

Finally, I feel alive.

The author's comments:
I finally figured out how to let go of what I've been holding on to. I've finally learned how to forgive myself and others. This poem represents how it feels to finally let go.
