Weight

When the weight of the world is upon your shoulders

I’m beginning to realize

The weight I've allowed 

Of other’s opinions

They hold me in a vice grip

Constricting my lungs

Making it hard to breathe

I find myself terrified to think

 Of who I could be

If i took the weight off my shoulders

The fear is like a cement block

 holding me down

I’m scared if i jump

The weight will sink me

I’ll drown

It’s hard to convey the meaning

What stops me from believing

I could be anything but ordinary

Do these words even make sense?

Or am i spouting gibberish?

Can you hold it in your hands 

Like an old photograph of a friend

Or does it disintegrate like ashes

through your fingertips

Remarkably clear voice.
Comforting tones that
honestly stirs this
reader of writers
empathy.
