Release Poem

Release Skit By LaToya Hosey

 

Good Morning Everyone, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Mrs. I’m- Holding-On. Yep, you heard me right, my first name is I’m, middle name, Holding, last name On! My name is a representation of me, because I find it extremely hard to let some things go.

I’ve met Mrs. Le- it-Go, but I don’t see her to much anymore, because she married, Mr. Mov- On. I heard they’re happy together, and that is alright by me! You see Mrs. Let it Go tried to give me some advice, but I don’t think she could relate, because after all, I am the only one that’s been hurt.

I mean she couldn’t possibly expect me to move on from the pain of being sexually molested by a strange man when I was a child. I didn’t ask for that. Or she couldn’t possibly expect me to move on from the hurt of Daddy not being in my life to protect me.

And what about the man that I married that cheated on me? I mean I gave this man three kids and he still stepped outside the marriage and had the audacity to have a baby by someone else.

Oh well, I figure I might as well hold on to this piece of man, because after all I did have these kids by him. I figure to keep myself happy, I’ll keep me a man on the side too, if you know what I mean?

I mean Mrs. Let-It-Go, can’t expect me to let go of my grown son that keeps getting his butt in trouble, in and out of jail. How can I let my child go? And I know she don’t expect me to let go of my adult daughter that has an addiction problem. I mean my child is sick! How can I let her go? And what about my best friend that betrayed me by borrowing money from me and never paid it back. I really ain’t letting that go! Actually I’m waiting to see her because I’m gone give her a good black eye and take my money.

You see I’m holding on to these things because I know one day they gone be the way I want them to be. They are going to change. But until then, I’ll just keep drinking me a little drink, smoke me a little something that makes me feel good, and keep holding on!

Sincerely,

Mrs. I’m-Holding-On

 

*If you can relate, then I challenge you to start confessing those things that you need to let go of to God today so that you can heal and move on! Love, Toya
