The only way

That I, in retrospect,

Can claim, ôThe old meö

Is to separate myself

From some things

I have to let some things go

Some people go

Some behaviors go

I may have to let some places go

Some ideas go

This one thing we all must know

The only way

That we can claim

ôThe old meö

Is to separate from some things

We must let ugliness go

And start within
