I don't trust the world to hold me my muscles remain tense, always holding myself above it I can’t even let the earth take my whole weight my whole self for fear of being too much I mistake the feeling of muscles relaxing of giving up control of allowing myself to melt for falling version 1.1 12/27/2021

Afterwords: I struggle to allow other people to see me fully because I feel the tremendous weight of everything i am holding every minute of every day, and i couldn’t imagine giving someone else that weight to hold too because it is so overwhelming. but i am practicing both trusting other people to help me hold things, and also practicing sorting through all the things I’m holding and just deciding to put some stuff down. Some things I can put down until tomorrow, or next week. Some things I can put down and just leave them the heck there. Every now and then I need to do a spring cleaning of my thoughts.
