Your job was to lighten the load
But instead, you made it more burdensome
Uncovering the complexities of tragedy you instilled in me until this day
Uncovering the multiple ways you let me down to this day
But I cannot harbor resentment no longer
The burdens ever consuming; it is unfair
But life is simply a scale seeking equilibrium
Fighting violence with balance
I learn to let it all go
Let the triggering words float on the river
Watch them as they go downstream
Without them, I feel like I lost apart of me
Which I did it was my pain, which I've opted to forgive
You cannot have bliss without tragedy and not everyone fulfills their jobs like they're destined to be
You got out of this commitment scratch-free
Therefore I will no longer let it hold weight over me
This ten wands no longer burdens me
Impermanence
