Carrying Stones

I don’t want your pity. I want your laughter. Because we have to laugh at ourselves and our situations we put ourselves in
because we must never take ourselves nor the journey too seriously
or it would make for a very long, tedious never ending road

Especially with our backs hunched over, as if we were in defeat 
we must always remember to never travel alone 
and as long as your pain echoes mine 
we will always be carrying one another’s stone 
And when the load seems heavy we will laugh and ask ourselves
why we chose to carry so many
