Heavy hearted
Lift me from the depths
Of my mind
Of the darkness
Thanking you
For
Pulling me up.

Heavy body
Flopping and
Trying to make my way
Up the stream
Against the current
Thanking you
For pushing me forward
Despite.
Despite.

Heavy eyes
Darkened
Barely see
Fighting against
The deafening sunlight
The cheering voices
Too bright for my light irises
Thanking you
For seeing me.

Heavy voice
Leaden with doubt
And worry
Struggling to speak out
Speak up
Be free
Thanking you
For calling and
Fighting.

Heavy smile
Can’t hold itself up
And falls
Underneath the pressure
To be perfect
Turns to a frown
Thanking you
For turning it upside down.
