Who Carries the Biggest Burden
Who carries the biggest burden,
Is it the child who carries on their small shoulders the expectations?
Of the adults around them,
Is it the teenager carrying the possibility of failing their exams?
and not seeing the point in living.
Is it the adult who now carries the responsibility of?
Putting a roof over their families head.
Or is it the senior citizen who carries the collective wisdom,
Yet lacks the knowledge required to pass it on,
Or the will to to do so.
