Weightless

It’s just one day she wants, one day to feel weightless. The load she carries on her shoulders is beginning to break her back. The weight is felt through every inch of her body right into the core of her chest. Her heart hurts as her body struggles to fight against the weight. What will it take to lift this heavy load, what will it take to let go of this hell. She can’t say anything as she sinks to the ground. The burden she carries has taken her soul, all that remains is the empty life, the shell of a girl I had once known.
