on to our burdens too long,
it’s difficult to let them go.

to the shackles that bind.

have finally broken
but why does my heart
still cling to past memories
and thoughts unspoken.

We both have freedom
now as I walk and you roll.
Thank you, I can now
reconnect with my soul

when we gain the

can still be bound
once it is fully released
as it may be all we really know.

to our traumas,
because that’s all
we know.

We become so comfortable
carrying our burdens that
we fail to see the only one
holding us back is ourselves.

the freedom to be
comfortable being trapped
within ourselves.

made me who I am ‘today’.

are hard to let go,
because we lived with them
for so long.

the chains are broken,

very same thing that broke us.
