The Weight Within

There's a weight that I carry,
Deep inside my soul,
A heaviness that lingers,
And takes its toll.

It's a feeling of sadness,
A feeling of pain,
That I keep locked away,
Deep within my brain.

I try to ignore it,
Push it to the side,
But the weight only grows,
As I try to hide.

Sometimes it feels suffocating,
And I can't breathe,
The weight becomes unbearable,
And I can only seethe.

I wish I could shake it off,
Let it go and be free,
But the weight inside my soul,
Is a part of me.

It's a reminder of the past,
And the scars that I bear,
The pain and the struggles,
That I had to share.

But even though the weight is heavy,
And it can bring me down,
It's also a reminder,
Of the strength that I have found.

For every time I carry it,
And keep moving on,
I prove to myself and others,
That I am strong.

So, I'll keep carrying the weight,
Deep within my soul,
And use it as a reminder,
Of the strength that makes me whole.
