Heavyweight Champ

If I could stop
with these weighty what-ifs
Stop listening to poetry
written by nobody's
I'd be lighter
Tighter
Quieter
Not If but When
I exclaim
I reframe
I maintain
My autonomy
over what came autonomi-cally
I let it wash over me
let it flow through me
seep right on past me
so now when i'm ready
it won't seem so heavy
To really BE me
