Lift

I want barren land
Stretched out in my mind
I don’t need a hand
Just let me just absorb time

You might understand
Sometimes you need to drop
Put your head in hands
And cry until you stop

But no I’m not adrift
There are two ways to lift
You can pull from above
Or get under and
Shove

I will sit in shade
Until the ache is gone
I know that it won’t fade
Until I take it on

I just need to sink
Not take on any more
I just have to think
So I can start to mend this sore

And so, I’ll rest here
Deal with the fallout
Shed all my tears
And push myself on out
