Living without the weight against me
Friends know I cant
They don’t know I can’t sleep without
It doesn’t have to be yours
I don’t want it to be yours
But the weight was comforting
Even when it bore on my shoulders
Even when it became shackles on my ankles
I was comforted in the pain because it was pain I knew
But now the bolts loosen less
And the weight presses heavy
My bones can only compress so much
My organs and blood are close to bursting
The weight comforted me
