Should I go?

When life gets heavy
The weight harder to bare
What can we do
How can we
find something
anything
to keep us going
To move us forward
toward the unknown 
toward a place 
leading us down 
a path we do not know
And how do we know
when it's really time
for us to just let go?
Let the pain
slip from our fingertips
bleed onto the ground that holds us steady
sink into the rich soil full of our lifetime memories
as the tears cry a waterfall down our faces
fueling our rich soil 
so that we can continue to grow
so that we can rise up
just to try and hold on a little longer 
to try to fight this world around us a little harder
