Carry the Weight

Sometimes it gets heavy.  The feeling on my chest of just not quite being able to breathe as freely as I should.  The slight trembling in my hands.  The wracking of my brain—— what did I do differently
Today?  Why am I upset today?  What is wrong with me that I can’t get a grip on myself.  Why am I so mean?  Why do I shut down?

Don’t touch me
Leave me alone

I’ve read 101 books on positive mindsets, on shifting your perspective, on turning trials into triumphs and still sometimes I get stuck in this mud.  I can’t seem to pull myself out.  The thoughts are there.  You’ll always be like this Bria.  It’s not going to get better.

So I sit with those thoughts.  I invite them in and give them a cup of coffee.  I ask why they made their entrance today.  We sit and cry together.  It’s dark today and I need a blanket to stay warm.

He feels left out, they feel left out.
I don’t know how to let anyone in.  I am a prisoner - I don’t have the keys (you think they’d give them to me?). I sit quietly in my cell- sometimes I get tired of trying.

Wats the point in trying when trees can strike you down?

What’s the point in trying when you still have bad days?
