We think everything is black and white, but there are so many gray areas.

We must tell our stories.

A poem titled Weary Told You by Analeigh Rites When weary told you, that's enough, I hope you listened. Your lonely didn't need anymore tears The weight of the world was not yours to carry. When weary told you, let it go, I pray you find peace when you do. There's a lot of things going wrong, but you can still find what's right for you. When weary told you, your body deserves more, I hope you didn't take that as a sign of defeat. Knowing when to take a moment of rest, does not make you weak. When weary told you, you're not thinking straight, I pray you didn't take offense When stress takes over, you're not as clear as you pretend. When weary told you, I understand, I hope you felt relief. Sometimes going too hard for so long, can deter you from what you believe. When weary told you, it's my time to go, I pray that brought a smile to your face. Being weary is not your destiny, or how you'll live your days.

Weary Told You by Analeigh Rites

"When weary told you,
that's enough,
I hope you listened.
Your lonely didn't need anymore tears.
The weight of the world was not yours to carry..."

Quietly, thinking about my life.

I love.
I feel.

I don’t stay.

I write today.

leaving little room for lies.
Intuition told me everything,
my eyes couldn't see."
