Weight

You were left alone, in all your pain no one stands with you. Mad thoughts have taken hold of you, wild thoughts. Throw them away, throw them away. Why is it so hard to rise? Why must you carry such a heavy weight? Why must you walk through all of this alone? When the world is falling, when there’s no strength left, who will lift you up when there is nothing else? In this silence the echo of pain remains, and every step feels like sinking down. But even if night covers you whole, there’s still a faint small spark alive. Throw them away, throw them away. Why is it so hard to rise? Why must you carry such a heavy weight? Why must you walk through all of this alone? When the world is falling, when there’s no strength left, who will lift you up when there is nothing else? You don’t have to be strong today. It’s enough to make one move. One moment, one breath, sometimes that alone is enough too. Why must you carry such a heavy weight? You are not alone, even if it feels that way. When the world is falling, when there’s no strength left, someone may still be here to give you a sign.
