you can't carry everything

you can't carry everything
with you.
you have to set
things down
and leave them there.
the world is too heavy
to bear.
quit lifting, quit trying
to understand
each glance, each word.
stop looking into
the eyes of others for
what isn't there.
set things down, 
lesson the load
and move on,
to yourself be fair.
