you need to go

thoughts racing

I wear you around like a backpack

I zip you up

So you can shut up

But sometimes I feel attacked

So the urge to unzip you comes raging on

I feeling you fading off my shoulders

Yet I grab you strap by strap

And bring you back

You are all the bad things

You are all the memories

You are all the dreams

You need to go

But…

I don’t know

If I, if I… if I had the strength to let you off my back

Perhaps I’d lift this burden

But…

I don’t know

I just,

Don’t know

It pains me to say, it even hurts me to think this

BUT YOU NEED TO GO
