Weight

By Julie Curran
Main Street Middle School, Grade 7

Building.
Up.
Up.
Up.
Too much
To carry.
Too much
To hold.
I can’t
Bear
This pain.
I can’t hide
This
Burden.

You
Comfort me.

There’s nothing
In the world.

There’s nothing
More to
Do.

No
One can
Hold you
Down.

Weight.

Dropping.
Down
Down
Down.

You are
FREE.
