Release..

When would I be free from this heavy weight?

This heavy weight of restrictions and inhibitions

This heavy weight placed on me by others albeit unknown to them

This heavy overbearing weight that is struggling to overpower me

I long to be free, to be me, to be at peace

I’m tired of being tired, tired of the frustration that is threatening to overwhelm all of me

A fleeting glance in the mirror and a reflection of my red, puffy eyes stare back at me

Allow me to rant will you, it’s the reason I saved this little place right here

The catharsis is necessary for my head, for my sanity

I’d like to go far, far away

Just keep going on without looking back

Till I get to that place I desperately want to be

This was written from a place of pain

A culmination of different emotions finally unleashed in salty, uncontrollable tears

They said it never helps to bottle and mask your emotions, they never lied

Because indeed I kept storing and now the bottle has popped, over capacity!

I breathe though because I am still in a good place compared to some others

I breathe because there is still so much to be thankful for

I breathe because I’m still struggling but I’m gradually starting my journey there

I breathe because I am blessed

I breathe because this too shall pass.
