Some times it lays heavily on me like a brick
Like a basket full of stones, weighing me down
Like a skydiver’s doom, a chute with no strings
Like a bag full of subzero over my head
Like all the opposites of whatever I need
Like all my troubles wrapped into one
Like nothing I can hold and everything I hate
Like all the blasted light at the end of my line
Just Like me right now
Sometimes I just wanna run away to anywhere safe
Where I don’t have to be strong and intelligent
And capable and unstoppable
Where bricks build strong houses to lie in rest
And I can hold my weary soul close
And sing myself soundly asleep
And Begin Again
Some days make our spirit….and the burden….heavy. You expressed it beautifully, without wanting pity. None of us want pity, we just want our dang bodies and Life back! Well done.
