Weight of the World

I’ve got the world on my mind,

My mind in my head,

My head on my shoulders –

Shoulders you once leaned on;

That once felt your tears –

Shoulders that carry more weight

Now that you’ve disappeared.

 

I’m currently midway into week 9 of the second semester. I’m so tired, and I know I’ve been trying – but this definitely isn’t my best. My initial determination has dwindled down into nothingness. At the moment, I just really want to get by – but even that is proving to be an overwhelming challenge.  

I’m taking two steps forward, three steps back.

Let’s hope I find the strength (and myself) to pull through somehow. (At least Mid-semester break is just around the corner)

 

With love,

Emily.
