How heavy is your soul today???

Have you ever had a thought, a moment, a day, a situation, a conversation, SOMETHING that happened to you or in your life that just weighed you down?
I mean, initially, it happens and your first reaction is "Meh, whatever."
But then, you start to mull things over.
You begin to think over and over, dissecting every detail.
And you suddenly feel as though your soul itself weighs several pounds.
So you try to ignore it.
You try to brush it off, hoping it will go away.
But it doesn't.
Instead you wake up the next day and this issue weighs so heavily on your soul, you swear you feel shorter, smaller.
Does it eventually go away?
Perhaps.
Maybe you finally break free and forget about it.
Maybe you pray and work it out.
Or...
Maybe it stays with you like an old scar, an eternal reminder that will haunt you for the rest of your life.
Only time will tell.

As humans we are trapped.
Trapped in our minds.
Trapped in ourselves.
We cannot escape from
what we love
what we hate
what we fear
and what we accept.
As humans we are faithful.
As humans we cheat.
We run for safety.
We run for love.
We run from love.
We run from trouble.
We hide in the darkness.
We seek the light.
We torment ourselves
and we torment others.
As humans we exist.
As humans we cease to be.
We encourage.
We discourage.
We enlighten.
We deceive.
We are lovers.
We are fighters.
We build.
We crumble.
We rebel.
We embrace.
We attempt to release
but never let go.
As humans we are trapped.
