Day 17- Book Writing/Birthday Month

The weight was good.

It felt perfect.

Just enough to

Keep her steady and

In place.

A foot in the sand

Holding things together

Where she should be.

After years of this.

This stability

This grounding

This steadfastness.

The weight became

Heavier.

Pulling.

Strangling.

Where she began to

Take on water.

Began to sink.

Under neglect and disrepair.

What once held her steady

Now held her under.

Some new rope perhaps

Or a new mooring.

Or simply cut the line

And let her free

To drift.

What once held you in place

Sometimes holds you back.

Ships were made to sail.

Harbors were made for visits.

Paths were made to explore.

Anchors away.

Anchors away.

Thank you for giving that little heart below a nudge if you liked this. :)
