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?

Self-care comes in many forms—some more grown up than others—including dumping feelings out on a keyboard and seeing where they land.
