Thing 2

My mind screams to let go--

'Let go of your pride,

and let some kindness show.'

I feel an internal struggle with my

mind and heart--

each telling me where to start.

I want to let go,

and rise to the light--

but a hand is grabbing my soul

and yanking it back below.

Maybe this Thing that I feel,

is something I want.

Maybe it keeps life interesting,

and so I don't let go.

But, this Thing is weighing me down.

I can feel it in my mind,

and it pinches my heart with a heavy sigh.

This Thing has a hold on me,

but deep down my mind screams

'let go.'
