Just Walk Away!

Just walk away —
Drop that mountain off your back.
All those endless talks and acts,
All that “smile, don’t fight, relax.”
All that pressure to forgive,
While you barely even live.

That tight knot in your throat,
When you want to sing — but choke.
Want to shout,
Want to punch it out,
But you’re told to stay polite —
“Be the bigger one tonight.”

Crying softly for what never came,
Drowning under that tired rain.
House a mess,
Mind a storm,
Still the duty — to clean, perform.
Perfect everything, no rest,
Can’t live like that — no, confess.

See the sun?
It’s on the run,
Sliding down —
the day is done.
Right outside,
beyond the glass,
It escapes to live at last.
So you too, my sister, tonight —
Just walk away.
Go chase your light.

Let it go — that noise, that weight,
All those “shoulds” that suffocate.
The endless lists, the smiling mask,
The “you can handle any task.”

Let the plates fall, let it be wrong,
You’ve been strong for far too long.
You owe no one your golden cage,
You owe no stage, no perfect page.

You’ve been running through the storm,
Built your life with bleeding form.
Every scar — a mark, not shame,
You survived, you stayed the same.

So breathe it in, the sky, the street,
Feel the ground beneath your feet.
No need to fix, no need to pray —
Just turn around and walk away.

See the sun?
It’s on the run,
Sliding down —
the day is done.
Right outside,
beyond the glass,
It escapes to live at last.
So you too, my sister, tonight —
Just walk away.
Go chase your light.
