Brick Backpack

I wrote this poem inspired by today’s weather because it is literally brick outside. It inspired the title of the poem at least.

Heavy on my shoulders

Pain by the pound

Grief by the gram

Trauma by the ton

One by one, need to set them down

Carry them, no more

Brighter, brickless days in store

First line of this song rings true to the season we are currently in (winter). Plus, it is an incredibly written song.
