Somebody Else’s Burden

The load that weighs you down with care
has sabotaged your inner peace;
its mass will steadily increase.

While staggering from here to there.
your steps are slowed, your back is bowed
because it isn’t yours to bear.

Cut loose and lovingly release
the load that weighs you down with care.
