Describe a weight you carry that has no name.
Its chained and tied to me all through the day,
Only loosened slightly in my sleep.
It consumes my mind and drives my insecurity.
It hides under my smile,
The smile I put on everyday,
Like clothing to cover its messiness.
It brings me down,
Turns every bright moment dull.
Its always lurking,
No matter how much I try to ignore it.
The weight that has no name.
