Riding In the Dark

i'd close my eyes because i wanted to be carried

i thought that could only be in a physical way

at least it was when i was little

when the weight

of me and my experiences

was nothing

even now, i find myself still wanting the same thing

to close my eyes and be carried

my feelings, soul, body

feels so heavy with the weight

of worry

of paths not taken or ones i'm too afraid to take

that i'm not sure who's up to the challenge

of carrying all that

when i close my eyes
