The weight of your heart
Is immaterial. You keep going
So long as it keeps beating.
The weight of your heart
Remains the same,
No matter how heavy
You think it is.
It weighs as much
As it has to,
And you will always
Have the strength
To bear its burdens.
All you need to find
Is the grace with which
To walk with that heart,
Weight be damned.
You live. Keep going.
