Burdens Poems

Heavy Burdens

Heavy Burdens 
Always under pressure. 
With heavy burdens. 
Sometimes you're running out of daylight. 
Consumed by responsibilities. 
Running low on energy. 
Unexpected loss through grieving. 
So much on your plate. 
Never have a chance to breathe. 
Time is always flying. 
Kids are always needy. 
Never time for yourself. 
No choice but to carry on. 
Dwelling

Knowledge's Burdens

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

Our burdens are lifted—it’s spring break, after all.

Though ocean breezes, surf sounds, the smell of sunblock,
fresh tans and bottomless margaritas at the beach can be healing,
we decided to vacation on campus and find joy in small, everyday things.

Yesterday, we went to the farmer’s market, where one coffee vendor was making real cappuccinos and another was

My load burdens me

Trying to keep up but the load keeps me sinking, everyday a new struggle arise, my strength fail to keep up, the demand so high, running out of breath, while on my knees trying to pray.

Dismantling blows, from every direction, all aimed at fracturing my spirit, but still hope in the unknown, comforting my struggle.

Premium MemberBeneath the burdens of countless nights

Beneath the burdens of countless nights,
In the cursed silence of the soul's waiting room,
I sat, the last one, loneliness carved by the chisel of forgetfulness into the stone of my heart,
Blocking him - he who left without looking back,
Left with longing, a heavy bracelet on a wrist of air.
In vain, I sipped from digital expectations,
Eyes

This head that we have but it's not be a burden upon our shoulders. In between the space of our skull and our mind, May our heart process be pure and soften. May we use gracious words. Father teach me to listen  and speak  right...

Life's Burdens
By Tom Wright
Oct. 24, 1997 
Revised Syllable Count
6/24/2024

During times when I’m beset with daily trials,
and burdened down with cares only life can bring.
The smile that graced my face has quickly vanished,
from within myself I’ve no more song to sing.

Then all at once my mind begins to wander,
to a shameful time upon a cruel tree.
How,

Too impaired to even continue to care, if at all,
About how life can always seem so unfair for us all,
As long as I have inner strength to continue to bear it all.

Premium MemberO' God May I Help Them With Their Burdens So You May Get the Glory-CR

May I share your burdens;
Shall I shed tears in your stead?
May I substitute those feelings you’re bleeding;
I just want to
I just need to
In the glory of our Father
May He allow me too?
Just love you
As He just do
May He allow me to physically comfort you?
In His bidding
In His willing
Be it His will that I stand in

My Bucket of Years

For the passing of 2022
I picked the emotion of sadness
That one is my bucket of blue
It holds grief, sorrow, and madness 

A year of sadness a year of loss
And most certainly of grief 
It’s hard to believe another year pass
Seemed so long, yet so brief 

Each year I sit and I stare 
Sifting thru my

Premium MemberExpectations

promise may be both a blessing and curse
sometimes turning into something far worse
potential the symbol for higher things
beyond the grasp of most human beings

entering such an uneven bargain
few do willingly pick up the burden
where any result short of final goal
makes an individual less than whole

pressing beyond standard deviations
brought down by weight of old expectations
having become

Jesus Takes Our Burdens

Jesus understands every heart currently breaking,
So whatever situation your found in today.
Even though it may be entirely of your making,
Give that burden to Jesus for He’s the only way.
