What If
What if, one day
Instead of,
Being that person who holds it all together
I let go, and...
Just put down the weight of the world
Resting on my shoulders
Lay it
d
o
w
n
Onto a table, or
Maybe even a storage drawer
So I can take that deep breath
I was told would help
On the days I cry, and yell and beg
Someone to hear me, how much I carry
For now I try to put it down on paper
Maybe that will help me lift the burden,
Enough to breathe again
