Day 3.

My Children.

Off you go, children
into the night.
I have held onto you
for far too long.

Off you go, children
into the world.
It is time for you
to meet your destiny.

Off you go, children
out on your own.
I have suppressed you
for far too long.

Now is the time to let you go.

Off you go, children
and don't look back.
I've braced myself
for the emptiness.

Off you go, children
and don't forget I
once gave you
everything of me.

Off you go, children
and pull away, far from
the quicksand of my soul.

Now is the time for me to heal.
