Let it go.
All you think is holding you together.
The way you tense your
shoulders
and
neck.
The force required to hold in your stomach.
What people think.
Who “owes” you.
Who wronged you.
How you let yourself down.
What you “should” do.
Let it go.
Just for one breath.
Or two.
Now what will you do?
(What we think holds up together
is often what is tearing us apart.)
