Sometimes the weight of you is entirely too much to carry
Sometimes I realise in moments of stark clarity
How I tarried far too long
In a place where I was never meant to fit in
Or belong
Sometimes it slowly dawns on me
That I lost the way to my song
When I started trying to dance too hard
To the tune another played
In harsh notes
With no tonal shades of grey
And that I was never really built for this
And how resistance to this simple truth
Has made me bleed
And that is when I realise the time is long overdue
To shed this role
And start my life anew
For it seems to me
That the weight of this burden
Is far too heavy
Is one I am no longer
Meant to carry
