It was more than just a break Aubrey Matthewson It was more than just a break It was freedom From the constant pressure of being a good student From the mental strain of being people’s go-to From every weight put upon me by others and myself It was the same sun I knew as a child sending its warm rays for me to soak up The sun that greeted me as I rode my bike around the neighborhood Waving hello to the houses that slowly made their way into a memory There was a feeling of being able to enjoy small moments to the fullest Never being weighed down by the thought of things I have to do Days were mine to waste There was a sense of self and soul I discovered who I am and who I enjoy being A free being who is constantly changing The mindset of “I am ok” It was a break that everyone needed but no one wished to come It was Atlas finally being relieved from his punishment
