The Weight Of LivingA Chapter by Kathryn SmithThere's an albatross around your neck. All the things you said and the things you've done. Can you carry it with no regret? Can you stand the person you've become? Kathryn do you know who you are talking to? Kathryn be quiet Kathryn shut up when my family is all together I've noticed I have become a very grand observer. I've learned that being quiet is the best thing to do. Even if I try to be myself and talk about really...anything at all, it sometimes feels like I'm talking to a wall. If I try to explain something Its usually a "been there, heard that, I'm older than you" sort of thing. All that you desired when you were a child was to be old now that you are here suddenly you feel you've lost control do you like the person you've become? I've become a person I never wanted to be...but now I'm proud of every damn thing. I don't regret anything. I know who I am. I know what I want. I am going to go after my dreams . Even if they tell me I can't do it. I'll do what I did in the days I was born. Fight for my life and prove everyone wrong. I'm going to defy the odds thrown at me. When you're under the weight of living it can be rough...but in the end having that furry is a very good drive to make you work hard and take control of your life. stepping forward out into the day shrugging off the dust of a memory though its soaring still above your head it is out of sight and none shall see It's the sun in your eyes Your albatross Let it go Shoot it down you tell yourself this is how it's going to be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jjY_ruRG8c © 2015 Kathryn Smith |
