Your head has become too heavy to hold

and what you need the most

is like fire to the touch

and it’s so much easier just giving up

because the already frayed rope

is just hanging by a thread

and shaking so violently

there’s no way it can hold

but if you reach up

just above the tear

there’s a new beginning

with a little less rope

but, the shaking now

it’s just a quiver

and your new grip gives you more control

it gives you a life full of strength

and a reason to say no
