i'd close my eyes because i wanted to be carried
i thought that could only be in a physical way
at least it was when i was little
when the weight
of me and my experiences
was nothing
even now, i find myself still wanting the same thing
to close my eyes and be carried
my feelings, soul, body
feels so heavy with the weight
of worry
of paths not taken or ones i'm too afraid to take
that i'm not sure who's up to the challenge
of carrying all that
when i close my eyes
