give it to me

give me your pain 

let me carry it for you 

I am not suffering 

but you are 

give me your pain 

I know it is not mine to carry 

but please

let me help

joy

song in my body

spring in my step

heart so full

it's going to explode

in this moment

life is worth living 

swim

i like many things about swimming 

but what i like best 

is finding weightlessness 

i'm buoyant  

unburdened by my own thoughts 

unbothered by what the world wants from me
