Weightless
Mass is weight and weight is mass
On earth this is true, yet elsewhere it is not
Mass is what you weigh on earth
Yet weight has to do with the gravitational pull of the object you are on.
Weight is also what you carry on your shoulders.
The pain and suffering that has molded you
Into the person you are today.
And you wish to go back, tell yourself it will be ok
But they need to get through it, become stronger and better.
When you go up into space and look down on the earth
You realize how small your problems are
And how big the universe is.
Slowly but surely the pain runs away.
Your mass stays the same, but the weight is lifted of your shoulders,
And for the time in your life you are truly
Limitless.
