    Burdens

    Sometimes the world is too much
    too much for one to carry.
    The shoulders weren't meant 
    to hold the weight of earth.
    You cannot hold onto the
    heavy heavy
    burdens
    that others pile on greedily.
    You cannot fathom
    why they would think
    you can just relieve them
    of their troubles
    with a snap of the fingers
    or a wink of the eye.
    The hypocrites
    that fill this earth
    to the carrying capacity.
    We will all die
    someday

    I absolutely love your poetry, broken. I am always amazed at the poetic beauty that spills forth from your mind and your pen. You're one of my favorite poets, honey:) I mean that.

    thanks angel, it means a lot.... but this is such an old 'poem', and such a simply ugly one, its hard to hear praise on it.

    This poem is NOT ugly. You are a very talented writer for only 12 yrs old, honey. I'm always pleased and impressed by your work:)

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
