Unburden

Spinning too many plates in the air.
Patience turning to just don’t care.
A need to release from this stress.
Relief would make a real difference.

Unburden your soul.
Before you lose all control.
Descend into a darkened abyss.
Feel permanently pissed.
Ready to take off limbs.
A creature past helping.

These trying times aren’t guaranteed.
Changes can relieve pain inflamed.
Face these demons and kill their hold.
Preventive measures can stop your heart going cold.

Unburden your mind.
Do not keep yourself confined.
Trapped burrowing in the muck.
Believing no one gives a fuck.
As if martyrdom is the only answer.
Step back and view your bigger picture.

Pause.
Rest.
Review.
Consider.
Alter trajectory.
Change tact if you need to.
It’s not defeat, it’s guarding your peace.
Everyone needs to be without relentless conflict.
For continuous battles only weaken your mind, body and soul.
Go too long and you’ll only wind up being a shell!

Unburden your future.
Don’t rely on more sutures.
Wounds don’t heal without rest.
Change is sometimes what is best.
Pick how you want your time to go.
Then sever what refuses to let you.

Your life, your rules.
Set them and protect your peace.
Don’t give up on your dreams.
