unbearable lightness

If I could lock the anxiety in a box, what would that be like?

I pray the Lord to lock my anxiety in a box.

It must be a relief to travel without any weight

For the luggage I’ve carried for so long

I’d blessed the day when I laid them down

Lord answered to my pray

First he unburden duties off my shoulders,

where half my worries coming from

No more deadlines need to approach

No more fears to let others down

Suddenly I feel lost and confused

I exist because I am needed

With all my responsibilities lifted

How could I even move on?

Then God took away my memories

the memories of my cherished ones

Cause love can hurt and hinder me from being free

With no burden of love weighed upon

Apprehension over the fear of loss would gone

Trapped in the horrible abyss of empty

I implored God to reseal my box of anxiety

Laughter and tears, Gain and Lost

Like sunshine can’t live without shadow

To embrace them all with grace

that's the way it should be

Life without the height of anxiety

it would become unberalbe light and empty
