Let Go? Or Let Go… A Chapbook (2025)

What happens when the life you built evaporates overnight?

What does it mean to keep going when everything has stopped?

Maybe you know the feeling: Waking up at noon, staring at the ceiling, sending out applications that vanish into silence, watching time stretch until it swallows whole days. Maybe you’ve been cut loose, left to wonder if you still matter, if you’re still you.

Let Go? or Let Go... is written for that season. These poems sit beside you in the stillness, naming the ache and the fog, but also the faint rhythm that remains beneath it. They remind you that even when life freezes over, ice remembers motion.

This isn’t a manual for getting ahead, but a hand extended in the quiet, a mirror that says: you are not alone. And when the thaw comes, you’ll know that stillness isn’t emptiness, but space.

And in that space, you are still here.

Told in two voices — human and water — Let Go or Let Go… is a lyrical meditation on collapse, renewal, and the strange grace of being forced to stop. Through verse, narrative fragments, spiritual echoes, and ancestral currents, this chapbook traces the emotional and metaphysical terrain of unemployment, disappointment, and rebirth.
