Now I go gently and quietly
Gone are the days of desperation and fear
Gone are the days of intensity and haste
Gone are the days where my plight spilled over
To those who would listen
As I sought release, solace, recognition     
Now I go gently and quietly
My plight is the same
But I am not
Somewhere I let go
Somewhere I detached from the outcome
Somewhere I surrendered what will be will be
Now I go gently and quietly
And now I go in peace
