a letter to doubt & fear.

you're the ghost that haunts my soul. 
making me scared to breathe in. 
a little puppet that thrives in 
the disaster that takes place around me. 

all i'm asking is that you loosen 
the strings around my neck 
you take the weights off of my eyes. 
remove the anchors from my shoulder. 

my heart is bound to get heavy sometimes 
but i wake up and i'm still breathing. 
if you keep the clouds coming, i'll just pretend 
that it's sunlight.
