How long would it take
For an anchor to sink?
How long would it take
If I was the anchor?
What if the waves
crashing above
Were the daily struggles
I was meant to face
The late nights being sad and anxious and restless
weren't necessarily things that I missed over the years,
but I miss my favorite music at the time,
and seeing my favorite teachers,
I hate it.
It hates me.
My past is an anchor.
It drags and stops me where I am.
Don't cut the chains.
Use the chains to lift that weight.
And take it.
It takes you.
