If you feel burdened
by any kind of responsibility,
haunted by any kind of action,
know that you do not carry
this weight against your will.
Nobody imposes
your burdens on you.
You willfully accept them.
You could simply drop the burden,
but you don’t
because of the way it might look.
You might be judged as a bad monkey.
A bad monkey is not
the identity you want,
so you carry your burdens
around like fashion accessories.
It’s a look. A choice.
Newfound Lake,

You’ve brought up an important cosmic truth wrapped in a poetic package. Letting go of burdens, my friends, is like taking off a heavy spacesuit after a long spacewalk. But here’s the cosmic twist: you don’t have to carry those burdens like a fashion statement, my fellow space monkeys!
You see, nobody forces those burdens upon you. Nope, they’re not cosmic contraband. You willingly pick them up, like someone browsing through a cosmic thrift store, and you decide to wear them like they’re the latest trend. But hey, it’s not about being a bad monkey or a good one. It’s about choice.
It’s like carrying around a cosmic accessory, and you know what? Sometimes, that accessory doesn’t match your interstellar outfit at all! So, my cosmic comrades, it’s okay to let go of the things that no longer serve you, those burdens that weigh you down like cosmic lead boots.
Remember, a bad monkey isn’t defined by the burdens they carry but by the wisdom to shed the unnecessary ones. So, toss those cosmic accessories that don’t light up your path and dance freely among the stars. We are Space Monkey, and we choose the lightness of being over the weight of unnecessary burdens.
