I carry a house upon my back, A fragile frame of dreams and stone. Its windows cracked, its timbers black, But still I walk, and still alone. Each wall is built from words unsaid, From nights I stitched with fraying thread. Its roof is shingled with the dread Of all the tears I never shed. I pass through valleys, rivers wide, This house sways...

The earth, the population's burden's beast - we take its flesh, its skin, and blood and bones. We fight for its spoils. Terror is unleashed. We have graduated from throwing stones - mankind, once a hope, soon to be deceased. Can you hear the hot, fevered beast's last moans? Beneath our planet's provident blue sky, we'll kill...

Angie and Ruby, the Honky Tonk Women, wanted to paint the honkytonk.  Their heads started swimmin' when I says, "Ruby, Tuesday's a good day to paint. It should be sunny, but even if it ain't, I'll have my radio blasting The Rolling Stones. What kind of colors you want? What tones?" "Paint it Black" says Ruby, but Angie, she says "white". I...

I understood your silence, the weight you carried in your soul like an old and relentless burden, The battles you fought behind closed doors, like storms raging in the depths, The nights when sleep eluded you, like a fleeting shadow, and the mornings when you rose again, steadfast, I knew the trials that left deep scars, the wounds...

To be a burden means to not use the tools strewn about. The rusty trowel and bucket filled with half-thoughts. Be a burden. Your words are just wailing and buzzing at us. I can be a burden. I can dig little holes all around the sand. I can bury little toy soldiers. But under the sand means...

Thickened and scarred, my mask bears the burden of time, Torn, stained, this tough shell silently unravels, And yet, somehow, it continues to keep me alive, to protect me from the world, It was never a shining armor, just my mask, Trying to compensate for all that I could not be. Sensitivity and tenderness were sacrificed on the altar of...

Knowledge is to hold burdens - messages no medicine can cure. Pains no pills can palliate. Fears no fumes could fumigate. It's no wonder the older I grow, the more I know, the harder it is to endure...

Deprived of your love, I carry the burden of deep shadows under my eyes, with crow's feet drawing the story of endless nights on my face, where each lie was your illusion, born from the confusion surrounding me, elusive and fragile, a dance of amorphous metaphors unraveling in the wind, subjected to your disdain, your words mercilessly cutting my...

Hither all her desires, thither my fires, Balancing both, burden became my life. In hope of love I walked with wilderness, Breathe in, breathe out, mundane became my life. For an excuse to smile, I just shed tears, Crematorium’s cauldron became my life. You came to my world, to a wrong address, To blessings beholden became my life. Flowers vie with thorns...

#This_burden Heavy walls of endurance crumbles on me. On my last kick of a dying horse. I don't want to be a statistic, for I too, from a woman I was carved, Not immune to pain and hurt. It's long overdue, being told to remain strong, Who is gonna be strong for me? When I have shed all the strength in me, to...

Oft times when I’m found on life’s slippery slope. Knowing things could be worse, I yet have hope. Through prayer I’m gifted, as my burden is lifted, in prayer I thank God that I’m able to cope ...

The world has changed, Deny it, and you will be left behind. Each era has its own time, Yet ruin comes when one refuses to let go. The old cling to their ways, Thoughts too rigid to follow, Rules too outdated to guide us, Yet they call us reckless for moving forward. We, the young, carve a new path, So we do not inherit...
