Taylor Swift wrote a poem for Vogue and it's all about betrayal and reinvention

Did you know that Taylor Swift reinvented herself? Lol, 'course you did. But, Swift has gone and penned a poem about reinvention and "moving on" just to make doubly sure that everyone is aware of her metamorphosis.

Swift wrote the exclusive poem for British Vogue to coincide with her cover shoot for the January issue of the magazine. Entitled "The Trick to Holding On," Swift's poem makes reference to people who've betrayed and hurt her in some way. Poor Taylor.

Per Vogue, the poem follows the theme of Swift's cover shoot for the magazine, which "reflects on the lessons learned as she moves into the next chapter of her life."

Swift's poem is no Shakespearean sonnet, that's for sure. But—just like her Reputation album—it rather elusively hints at the misdeeds of former friends who've betrayed her.

Read it for yourself:

Let go of the ones who hurt you Let go of the ones you outgrow Let go of the words they hurl your way as you’re walking out the door The only thing cut and dry In this hedge-maze life Is the fact that their words will cut but your tears will dry

They don’t tell you this when you are young You can’t hold on to everything Can’t show up for everyone You pick your poison Or your cure Phone numbers you know by heart And the ones you don’t answer any more

Hold on to the faint recognition in the eye of a stranger As it catches you in its lustrous net How quickly we become intertwined How wonderful it is to forget All the times your intuition failed you But it hasn’t killed you yet Hold on to childlike whims and moonlight swims and your blazing self-respect

And if you drive the roads of this town Ones you’ve gone down so many times before Flashback to all the times Life nearly ran you off the road But tonight your hand is steady Suddenly you’ll know The trick to holding on Was all that letting go

Look what you made her do.
