Letting go

Why is it so hard to let go
some things
some people
past failures
unresolved situations
conflicts

Is it just in me
Or in all of us
This need
or at least a deep desire
for closure
resolution
situations clear all around
understanding of what really went on
knowledge that it's all okay
nothing left unresolved

And yet, so many times
the final and complete resolution
is not within my power
