i've thrown my rocks out
emptying my bag
although i thought that what i was carrying was needed
and precious
i realized once i started to eliminate each one
that little by little it all needed to go
i appreciate the time that i had alone
to audit all of my "supportive" rocks
there are no regrets
that i carried them for so long
the weight of them
helped me to grow
and learn the painful lessons
mandatory when growing up
