eclipse

eclipse—

i've been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders for 20 years now

you'd think i would be strong enough to handle it

but the world is getting heavier

and so is my heart

my body feels heavy

have my bones turned to brick?

the weight of the world isn't on my shoulders anymore

it's in my blood

my bones

i can't escape it

i'm supposed to be a beacon of light -

a moonbeam

reflecting the love and light of others

but

the weight of the world

is obscuring my luminosity,

creating an eclipse

i am light

around the edges

but inside

it's dark
