**I wrote this poem off a prompt of my own creation, if you use this prompt, please give me credit for the prompt.**

**Prompt: Give gravity a voice. Let it speak about the burden of holding everything down and what it dreams of letting go.**

You’ve surely

Heard of me

In some scientific words,

I mean,

I am

Gravity.

But…

I’m just described

As an invisible force

That keeps everything

Grounded…

_That’s not _

_All I am…_

Yes,

What they

Say

Is true,

But I’m more

Than just

An invisible,

Grounding force.

I have

Quite the

Stressful job,

You know?

Keeping everyone grounded,

When all I want

Is to let go…

To be free

From the burden

Of this weight

I have had

Resting upon my shoulders

Since the dawn of time.

_I’m holding you down,_

_Not holding you back._

_You’re holding me back,_

_Not holding me down._

But I know

That if I let go,

I’ll then be held back

By the weight

Of my guilt.

Though

I can’t help

But wonder…

__

_What would_

_Freedom_

_Feel like?_

__

_What would_

_No weight on my shoulders_

_Feel like?_

__

_What would_

_Letting go_

_Feel like?_

But these

Are just more

Wonders

That occasionally appear

In my mind,

I know,

I’ll try

To leave them behind.

So for now,

I’ll keep you grounded,

I’ll keep you steady,

Just be ready,

‘Cause someday

I plan on letting go.
