The Weight

by Paiger   Sep 16, 2008


It feels like its holding me back
it makes me feel like it's not worth trying
because all I have known is the pain
it feels like a weight

It makes me think there will never be anyone for me
It makes me feel all the hurt come back every time
it stops me from taking chances again
it feels like a weight

I sink when I go out into the open water
So I stay on the shore, I don't try to swim against it's force
I just watch everyone else sink or swim
It feels like a weight

Its tied around my heart,
holding it back
weighing it down
I must untie the weight

I wish I knew how to release myself from it
whenever I try, it pulls me back down
making me loose my grip
on the cord that binds it to my heart

    This was quite intresting the weight seemed to be force but it was never really a metephor to anything just a weight. Would like to see what was the obstruction or true meaning because you could fit almost anything into it just a thought Plot121
