Heavy Burdens?

Let me hear
All your craziest fears
Let me share
All the feelings I've had to bare

Let speak about the past
See what holes were left by the blast
All our heart ache and sorrow
Put on pause for tomorrow

I've always had a fear
So much so, it brought me to tears
I've experienced so much death
Now It barely has me upset

I've adopted a motto
To grab life by the horns
To give it full throttle

I carry many burdens
But each have a lesson within
That one day I'll see
When I reflect, look back
And smile upon it with glee

We all carry very heavy burdens, we just need to find new ways to manage them.

Very beautiful poem! Writing poetry is something myself and @td4me80 do on our free time. This one short piece we wrote last weekend titled 'Puddles to Frost' :

My alarm was set for the day to start,
The sun rose high and made its mark,
Frost to puddles and flowers to bloom,
My love left and promised to return soon,
Days to months and months to years,
Never to return; left in tears,
Turn the pages of night 'till noon,
Never to return, so much for soon,
When time slows down, matter does too,
Stars in the sky won't hold true,
The sun never rose and left a gloom,
Puddles to frost and nothing to bloom..

This is ridiculously good thanks for sharing :)

I carry many crypto
And each have a wallet
That one day I'll see
When I reflect, look back
Im a millionair

Great poem and picture. This would be a good poem to set to music.

One day I might, when my piano skills get a bit better :)

Our burdens are many and very heavy, but it is meant to challenge our inner strength and perseverance. Some days, I feel the pain of these burdens and then become weaken for a while. Some days I get so low that I question why I open myself to this. And then when I get close to closing up, someone or some moment wakes me up and re-energizes my inner self to move forward and stay on the path. Life is hard and painful at times but like you said, "I carry many burdens, but each have a lesson within, that one day I'll see, when I reflect, look back and smile upon it with glee." Ethan, your poem touched me deeply, because despite all these burdens, you show hope and fortitude. I continue to be amazed by you!.......Cabbagepatch

Thank you :) Life sucks but I believe we are never given more than we can handle, God has a plan and in him there is comfort and solace, we just need to continue to persevere and learn from our trials :D

Well expressed! We all have burdens we carry, and they differ.. and how we carry them differs as well. Very inspirational poem and I particularly love that it ends in positivity. With you saying you learn, reflect and smile.

Thank you :) there is always light in dull situations

This is interesting, thanks for sharing :)
