Wait what, what wieght?

It's really hard to let it go.......

Hello dear reader

Shh....

just between us

can you help me out

where I can get rid of this weight

I'll wait..........

oh......”What weight?” you say

just this weight of desire

the kind that drags

that pulls

that holds the heart fast

that doesn't let go

that keeps the past relevant

that from the present I am absent

I have carried it much too long

so please tell me how to let it go

my arms tire

my eyes are heavy

yet ironically

sleep is far from me

seems it requires all my attention 

so please help a guy out

tell me where I can leave this burden........

We cling to the past because it is who we think we are. Without it, even the unpleasant parts, we'd be nothing, and that we cannot bear. And yet the past is no longer real, and we could release except for our fear of nothingness.
