put down

let go

what you thought was us

what you thought was you

put down the frown

that you felt fit

shed the scowl

that you might miss

drop that story

of what you were

told was you

by them

for us

let go

what you carried

thinking it would serve

because it once had

now

you are tired

beyond muscle

beyond measure

beyond miles

beyond tears

beyond words

put it all

down
