Be still

 breathe

in and out

  in and out

tangled minds and unnerving

      thoughts, the weight

 of the world heavy

  in the trenches of your mind

stop. my dear, 

   stop. be still.

 the burden

of the world is not yours

 to bear. this burden

  is not yours. this weight

is not yours. 

be still, my dear. stop.

   be still, breathe

 in and out

  in and out.
