When you waste it, it feels like a burden
But I always seem to overestimate it
And waste it as if I was rich

Among the flowers and the grasses
And breathed – and layed my burden down
On my corrective glasses

But won't be taken lightly

You Are What You Feel

Horrifying moment comes 
Wherever you feel scared

Burden appears 
Only when you feel weak

Failure takes place 
Whenever you feel can't

Rejection

"Nap," written in blue
Resting means I'm a burden
Get no rest at night
To see the depths of my soul
You might just know rejection

Clarity

Standing apart
from truth
Life came 
into focus

Its burden
had lifted
Detached
— I was free

if not for men
and their will 
to open
their fists 
and their hearts
tragic feminine
beasts of burden
the will of men
still in their carts

The blinding light,
The clouds now part.
A gentle path appears.
A heavy burden lifted,
And then, the quiet hum,
A single prayer now whispers.

Words' sad burden
Most stay clear of
When asked, in leaning, to bear.
Yet when tear-dropped
Of greater weight
Do rush, their support to share.

Burden

Failing of sins afflict the soul within.
Jesus carries the life of the law in you.
Be the wailing of sorrows in prayer.
For Jesus sees them there.
